Does anyone have any positive experiences to share with finding a class that's suitable for 4/5 yr old boy? I'm not experienced with the different martial arts, so any input would be appreciated, preferably with locations in Happy Valley, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai area.

thanks!

Briefing of Wing Chun Kung Fu 詠春簡介: Wing Chun kung fu is a Southern Shaolin internal martial arts style founded by a nun, Ng Mui. She passed her kung-fu knowledge to Yim Wing Chun and Yim further passed this skill to her husband, Leung Bok Chau. To memorize his wife, this kung fu set was named after her. It focuses on directness, economy of motion, soft and flexibility to increase both mental and physical health. The late great kung fu movie star, Bruce Lee, also learned Wing Chun from Grandmaster Yip Man.

My son has just started Shaolin Kung Fu in South China Atheletic Association (SCAA). He really enjoys it. The Master is very experienced and he has students of non-Chinese nationality as well as locals. I heard a number of kids even came top in open competitions. You can visit SCAA and check out the lessons before enrolment. The classes are on Mon, Wed, Fri, and Tues, Thurs, Sat, at 4.30-6.00pm. It's $800 for 2 months of lessons which I think is excellent value.
