Continue as usual.
Adult Kung Fu grading will be on Saturday 22nd October at 9am.
Kids Kung Fu Classes
Last class for term 3 – Monday 19th September (and grading for those who are ready)
First class back in term 4 – Monday 10th October
Qi Gong/Tai Chi Classes
Last class for term 3 – Thursday 22nd September – despite the sudden Public Holiday, this class will go ahead
First class back in term 4 – Monday 10th October
Fees
Sadly, costs are rising. Some of the rents I pay have gone up, insurance fees have gone up, etc., not to mention general expenses like petrol for getting around. So unfortunately, I’m finally at a place where I need to pass some of that on. Fees have remained the same for some time and hopefully these small increases will not be too brutal. As from Term 4 fees will be as follows:
Adult Kung Fu: 10 Class Pass $175 / $20 casual
Kids Kung Fu: 10 Class Pass $150 / $20 casual
Qi Gong: 10 Class Pass $175 / $20 casual
Membership/insurance fees for the year will remain at $75 per person, payable before the end of February each year.
That’s it for now. Please help us spread the word about our classes by telling family, friends, colleagues and class mates. Word of mouth is the best advertising we can get.
Thank you, and see you at class.

]]>The post Restart dates and requirements for 2022 appeared first on ILLAWARRA KUNG FU ACADEMY.
]]>This post is to confirm all the restart dates for classes. Please note, Adult Kung Fu will now start on the 31st of January, not the 24th as previously stated. And the Friday morning Jamberoo Qi Gong class will not resume in Term 1 2022. So restart dates are as follows:
Adult Kung Fu Classes
First class back in 2022 – Monday 31st January
For the foreseeable future, Adult Kung Fu classes will run from 6.00 to 7.30pm for everyone, not 8.00pm as before.
Kids Kung Fu Classes
First class back in 2022 – Monday 31st January
Qi Gong/Tai Chi Classes
First class back in 2022 – Monday 31st January (Kiama)
Wednesday morning in Gerroa and Thursday evening in Kiama will both commence as from the 2nd and 3rd of February respectively.
PLEASE NOTE: These dates are subject to change if the Covid rules change, but at this point will resume and we will keep to the required distancing in class. Masks MUST be worn throughout class, and only people who are fully vaccinated will be allowed to attend. The vaccine is available for the 5 to 11 age group now, so while that isn’t a requirement at this stage for the kids class (as it’s only been available since January 10th) it will become a requirement in future. I believe we all have to do all we can to keep ourselves and each other safe.
Fees
Please remember that insurance membership fees for the year will be payable once classes resume in 2022. This is still $75 per person, payable before the end of February, please. All other class costs will remain the same for the time being. (There is a membership fee family discount for multiple members of the same family – ask me about this if it applies to you.)
We have finally organised new t-shirts (with the dragon and tiger yin yang design on the back) for the kids and adults kung fu class – they are $40 each and available in class. Just ask when you come in.
Stay safe, everyone, and let’s hope this virus calms down again asap and we can resume some kind of normality. Of course, any questions about any of the above give me a call on .
Cheers

]]>Hi everyone
With the return to in-person classes from the 25th October, the following requirements are in place. This is to keep us in compliance with NSW Health guidelines, and from a personal perspective, to do all we can to protect each other and our families and the community at large. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch.
Entry Requirements – to attend any of our classes:
- You will need to show your vaccination certificate or official medical exemption to attend. This can be done by downloading a PDF from MyGov or using the Medicare app, My Health Record, Apple Pay or Google Wallet and more. For full details please see this Service NSW help page.
- Regulations still require masks to be worn indoors in public spaces for everyone over 12 years old.
- Children attending the Kids Class do not need masks or vaccination at this point, but any accompanying adults must be fully vaccinated and we will need to sight their certificate. (Drop off and pick up without entering the class is no problem. We encourage parents not to stay during class to reduce overall numbers in the room.)
Therefore, if you plan to attend a class, please provide your proof of vaccination asap. We will keep records of everyone who has done so, but we won’t share those records with anyone and will not keep the proof after we’ve updated our files.
We will need to see your PDF certificate or your vaccination digital certificate, or the equivalent official documentation of a medical exemption, sent to [email protected] asap please.
Other Class Precautions
In order to keep all students and instructors safe, we will also insist on:
- QR code check-in on arrival
- Hand sanitiser use before entering a class
- Mask wearing throughout attendance (for people over 12 years old)
If you have any symptoms for which NSW would require a covid test (see details here), please do not attend class.
Please Note
In order to keep students safe and comply with NSW regulations, if you don’t have proof of vaccination and/or display covid-19 symptoms, we will be unable to admit you to the class.
Let’s all keep each other safe during these times. Thank you!

]]>So, as from next Monday, August 2nd, we will resume our normal class schedule, but with the following restrictions in place:
– If you live or work in the red zone (Sydney, Shellharbour or Wollongong LGA) I’m afraid you cannot attend class. I’m really sorry about this, but the guidelines are currently inflexible on this point. It’s especially frustrating for the Shellharbour LGA, but it’s out of our control.
Otherwise, for people who haven’t visited any of the red zones, the following restrictions apply:
– Qi Gong on Monday morning and Thursday evening in Kiama will resume. We have to follow 4 square metre distancing, so numbers are restricted, but at this stage that shouldn’t be an issue. Class will be for 1 hour duration. MASKS will have to be worn throughout class.
– Kids Kung Fu will resume on Mondays from 4 to 5pm. We have to follow 4 square metre distancing. MASKS will be worn by all instructors throughout class, and any parents or carers during drop-off and pick-up must wear a mask. We would encourage parents and carers not to stay for class, but you’re welcome to wait outside the main hall.
– Adult kung fu will resume on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Classes will be shorter than usual, probably finished by 7.30 at the latest. We have to follow 4 square metre distancing. MASKS will have to be worn by everyone throughout class. There will be no contact drills or padwork during this time, so we’ll focus on forms and combo training.
The 4 square metre rule and masks requirement is mandated by NSW Health, so this isn’t something we can change. I recognise that training with a mask on is far from ideal, but these are strange times.
Any queries, please get in touch. All the best, and stay safe everyone.

]]>I’m really hoping the restrictions are at least eased a bit for our region at the end of July. If not, we may look at this again and consider some kind of limited class, but for the moment, we’ll simply stay on hiatus. With any luck, classes can kick off again on August 2nd. Fingers crossed!
Any questions, give me a shout any time. Meanwhile, my apologies, and try your best to train at home in the meantime.
Cheers
