NZ Wushu Academy teaches wushu and related martial arts to children and adults, from its base at 45 Totara Avenue in New Lynn, with classes across Auckland. It was started in 2016 to bring wushu to New Lynn and the country, and the academy says it has trained the first team to represent New Zealand at international wushu competition. The classes cover modern competitive wushu, traditional forms and weapons training, Sanda kickboxing, and Tai Chi and Qigong. The academy welcomes children from about age 5, and adults of any ability.
Students can move from beginner to intermediate, then to a development squad and to national and international competition if they want to. The first lesson is free. The academy also runs school workshops and live lion dance and dragon dance performances, and sells training gear online and in store. The site advertises a 10 per cent storewide discount code, so check it is still running.
