Another year is coming to a close; 2021, much like 2020, was an abbreviated and interrupted year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. But the Academy has made it through again to reach the holidays for another year.

Sifu Dana and all at the Qian Li Dao Academy want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and may you enjoy good health, much happiness and good fortune with loved ones and friends over the summer break and into the New Year! May 2022 be a great year for us all!

Werribee classes will finish on Thursday, 16 December and Bentleigh, on Friday, 17 December. Classes for Werribee will resume as from Monday, 17 January 2022 and Bentleigh, as from Friday, 21 January 2022.

Thank you once more to all our students, friends and supporters for being a part of our network. We look forward to seeing you all again in the New Year. Travel safely, enjoy your holidays, keep well.

Sifu Dana Wong will be returning to Resilience Massage and Training to join his student, Chris Gauntlett, in running a series of Knife Training Master Classes. If you haven’t trained with Sifu Dana before, this is an opportunity not to be missed. Sifu Dana has over 30 years of teaching experience and brings a unique perspective to training knife fighting that is grounded both in Wing Chun Kung Fu and traditional Filipino martial arts.Knife training drills have enormous benefit for:• Practical self defence skills• Improving reaction speed, reflexes and timing• Hand/eye coordination• Sensitivity training and Wing Chun chi sao application.Sifu Dana and Chris will both be teaching together in a ‘tag-team’ format for this series of Master Classes. The classes will build on the concepts and principles taught in the first two Wing Chun chi sao Master Classes, and will use knife training drills as an alternative lens through which to look at and explore the concepts of Wing Chun Kung Fu.These Master Classes are open to all levels of experience and do not require any previous training in Wing Chun Kung Fu.

ATTENTION: Students and followers of the Academy – due to the latest updates from the Victorian government today (9 June), the Academy and its branches in the Melbourne area will remain closed until midnight, Thursday 17 June. Hopefully, all restrictions which keep us apart will be eased by then, and we will be able to resume face-to-face training again. This restriction applies to all adult and children’s classes at their respective branches. But that doesn’t mean that YOU cannot keep up your own training in the meantime. Try things out, formulate your questions, see if you can answer your own queries. There is still much training that you can do until we meet again! Keep well and stay safe!
