The ACT Bac Fu Do Kung Fu school, located in Macquarie, offers a unique and comprehensive approach to martial arts training. The school is dedicated to teaching the practical combat system of Bac Fu Do, which blends multiple Chinese martial arts styles to create a cohesive and effective self-defence system. Unlike traditional martial arts schools that focus solely on forms and technique, Bac Fu Do emphasises efficiency, practicality, and real-world application.

One of the distinguishing features of Bac Fu Do is its comprehensive syllabus which includes striking, kicking, ground fighting, grappling, weapons, and tactical skills. Students are trained in a wide range of techniques and are taught how to apply them effectively in real-world situations. The school also places a strong emphasis on situational awareness, teaching students how to gauge a situation and respond effectively to multiple attackers. This includes the use of street tactics and the effective use of the street environment.

Another unique aspect of Bac Fu Do is its focus on weapon skills. In addition to teaching traditional Kung Fu weapons such as swords, the school also trains students in the use of everyday items as weapons. This practical approach recognises that the body itself is the true weapons platform and teaches students how to defend themselves using items they may have readily available.

Fitness is also an important component of training at ACT Bac Fu Do. The instructors place a strong emphasis on developing effective footwork and power to maximise impact with the least amount of effort. Students can expect to improve their overall fitness, strength, and agility while training at the school.

ACT Bac Fu Do Kung Fu prides itself on being a MAIA COVID Safe school, ensuring that all necessary precautions are taken to maintain the health and safety of students. Additionally, the school is a member of Kung Fu Wushu Australia, the only government-recognised management organisation for Chinese Martial Arts in Australia. This ensures that students receive quality instruction in a safe environment from experienced and accredited instructors.
