"I started training with the Kung Fu club back in
1998, at the beginning of my undergrad study. The physical and mental
discipline of learning a martial art has benefits that go far beyond learning
to kick or punch. Being healthier and more resilient helps you to manage the
(many!) challenges you'll encounter at uni and beyond, and the network of
contacts you'll make is more valuable than any subject you'll ever study. Many
of the friends I've made through the club have become like family over the years."

"Before I started training I was really shy and
found it hard to talk to people, but after these two years since I've joined
the RMIT Kung Fu Club I've gained more confidence in myself and feel a lot
happier. Knowing that I having something to look forward to every week, the
adrenaline you get whenever you throw a kick or punch and the excitement you
get whenever you learn something new or watch people spar is really astounding.
I've also met many amazing people who respect and help each other to ensure that not only can you carry out a technique but understand it as well."

There is no uniform requirement for new members. It is
suggested that new members wear lightweight clothing (shirt and pants) that is
easy to move around in. Shoes are worn during class, so runners or similar are
recommended.
For graded members, the uniform is a white shirt which can
be purchased from the club with the club design on it. Our pants are plain
black without stripes, logos or other markings, and are designed to be easy to
move in and are highly durable, these can be also be purchased from us. There
is no specification on the kinds of shoes, so members can continue to wear what
they find to be most comfortable.
