Through the instruction of self-defense techniques, a personalized character development program, and fitness training, we aim to equip our students with the tools they need to thrive.
Our focus is on empowering every student to strive for excellence, fostering a strong sense of community, and nurturing qualities such as self-worth and mutual respect.

DID YOU KNOW... Dacayana Eskrima encompasses the direct skills required for self-defence application. This perfectly complements the Chi Wai Kung Fu syllabus BUT also enables the Dacayana system to be a perfect standalone art in its own right!
For example, the weapons skills can be used with something as simple as a rolled-up magazine, a pocket stick, a simple bar and many other items that can easily be found lying around. Eskrima also teaches us unarmed or empty-handed techniques within the drills and the weapon movements are easily adapted for empty hand application.
Here are some recent pictures from our recent grading session. Everyone gave their best. What a fantastic, challenging but fun day.

WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CHI WAI KUNG FU AND CHI WAI KICKBOXING?
Chi Wai Kung Fu’s main emphasis is on self defence. Whereas Chi Wai Kickboxing’s main emphasis is on excellent striking skills and improved fitness & flexibility.
The two systems have been designed to perfectly complement each other with overlapping skills and unique skills to each system.
