Testimonials

I’ve been training at the Wushu Academy for the last 12 years. I can truly say this is one of the best schools I’ve trained at.

The attention to the basic is impressive. Making sure that you learn everything correctly and keep on improving on them.

We don’t learn a million different things we keep practicing the same things over and over till we master it.

The classes are a lot of fun, enjoyable and designed to build up your fitness fast. Classes cater for all fitness levels.

Truly a great school.

I first joined the Wu-Shu Academy at Rozelle when I was just 16 years old mid-2002.  Sadly it was an art which I could not dedicate my time to, with my HSC and advanced mathematics university degree ahead of me.  Despite only remaining at the centre for three months, there was not a single week during the nearly nine year absence afterwards whereby I did not think of my Kung-Fu; I really missed it. It changed the way I thought about my movements, my strength, my balance, and my life in general.

In 2011, I wanted to lose weight, get fit and strong, and learn self defence, and that’s exactly what happened. My body was instantly reminded of the adrenaline and power of Wu-Shu, and I have stayed here ever since.

Over time I had tried different schools of Kung-Fu, different forms of martial arts and even different types of exercise, but nothing can take me away from the Wu-Shu Academy. The attention to detail, absolute care and the purity of the method of teaching of the trainers is unparalleled; they always cater for all abilities, and have seemingly limitless patience for those like myself who sometimes repeatedly struggle with some of the challenging techniques. I’ve always felt welcome and cared for in many ways.

In summary: Wu-Shu academy at Rozelle provides a holistically empowering life-changing experience, better than anything else you could imagine!

Mathematics PhD student, tutor and lecturer.

I have trained at numerous Kung Fu schools, Karate Dojos, Kickboxing clubs, the list goes on. I always changed schools after a period of approximately 6-24 months as I would begin to feel that the teacher was not at a standard that I was comfortable with. In 1999 I was introduced to the Wu-Shu Academy by a friend of mine. At first it was the authentic Wu-Shu that attracted me to the school. The more I trained the more Sifu Kamran would show me the fighting applications of Wu-Shu and I was astounded at his ability. Never before had I seen someone who could create so much power with such little effort and who could show me how the techniques of Wu-Shu forms are used for self defence and fighting.

Sifu Kamran has all new students train in Chang Chuan (long fist) for the first few years, one of the more popular external Wu Shu styles, in order to develop flexibility and strength before advancing to weapons and internal styles. I now learn Xing Yi, one of the three most famous internal Kung Fu styles and I feel very lucky that I have a genuine master to learn from. Sifu Kamrans skill and experience is of a level that I have never seen before.

I have been a student with the NSW Wu Shu Academy for over 10 years, initially commencing to keep fit and learn defence skills being a female in this sometimes cruel world. However, since commencing and under my highly skilled teacher, Sifu Kamran, I have learnt skills to assist me in all areas of my life.

Physically, I have gained total body fitness (it really does not leave any part unattended to), coordination, strength, power, energy, endurance, stamina, great health and immune defences, agility, flexibility and much more; Mentally, it has given me increased confidence, assertiveness, strength, calmness, clarity, understanding and decreased stress; Spiritually, it has connected me to everything around me assisting me to be mindful in my kung fu and my day to day life; as well as giving me a sense of peace with all that I do. The kung fu journey is a lifelong one but I am eternally grateful for Sifu’s invested time to teach me and other students for all of these learnings, as they will continue to influence and improve my life forever!"

Sifu Kamran has helped me to develop into better and stronger person through his teachings on my journey to become a martial artist in Kung Fu.

From my first introduction to his style of teaching 11 years ago to today, there is always something that he can help improve on, strength, flexibility, control, courage  and determination to become even better.

Kung Fu requires extreme discipline and is very rewarding. I’ve always had a strong interest in martial arts but I chose to learn Kung Fu as I have studied and read many books where Kung Fu keeps you physically and mentally strong and prevents illnesses and ailments. I cannot even remember the last time I called in sick for work as Sifu Kamran’s authentic traditional style of training has kept me healthier and stronger and is now part of my life.

I was driving down the road wondering what I was going to do with my life. I saw the sign for the WuShu Academy. It was an epiphany. I tried the 2 free classes and have been going to the school for the last 5 years. I love the physicality of the Wu Shu. It is an extreme fitness workout. The students at the school are great. Very friendly and very motivated is how I would describe the group. If you want to be fit and learn an effective martial art, you have to try this!

I came across the Wu Shu Academy when I was 15 by accident, little did I know then that meeting Sifu Kamran would completely change the direction of my life. It is difficult to describe but essentially Wu Shu teaches you self defence, flexibility, mobility, fitness, strength… All if these things, however on a deeper level, with time, it instills something within yourself that wasn't there before. Some say inner strength, some say a sense of self-worth or purpose, either way it is something special that can ultimately be used for good. Sifu Kamran has always inspired this in me and since training under him I have been fortunate enough to have many wonderful opportunities and whilst one could say there was a lot of luck involved in this … It was definitely Wu Shu that prepared me to seize the moment.

The Wu-Shu Academy became my home away from home over 15 years ago. Being here teaches me how to separate my work life from my personal life. This school is special, it encourages its students to strive for excellence and inner peace. Membership fees are modest and there are no extra expenses involved. The instructors are highly skilled, they share knowledge and experience with students regardless of skill level. To me, Wu-Shu Academy is the place to be; to stay fit, focused and happy.
