Over ons

I have trained at IWKA – Amsterdam for nearly 7 years and I can honestly say that these instructors are remarkable teachers. I have learned so much, not just skill-wise, but also in terms of personal growth, through kung fu philosophy. When I started at age 16, I was a very shy girl. Kung fu gave me an outlet. I loved the classes and felt seen. As I got better, my confidence grew. I am very grateful for all of the wonderful experiences I have obtained at IWKA, as well as for the friendships I have formed here with peers and teachers alike. I would recommend this kung fu school to anyone who wants to learn kung fu and strives for personal growth!

Since April 2020 our two sons Anthony (8) and Mason (6) joined the IWKA

We are very satisfied with their progression! Both boys have different personal goals and we can see they are learning a lot and are very satisfied with their progression.

The most important to us is that they love the lessons. They always want to join and learn new things. For them, the most important things are the Kung Fu techniques, but for us parents we find it more important that they learn things like; confidence, self -control, discipline and respect. They also play football, and I can see that they have also become a lot stronger, faster and more balanced during their football matches, thanks to Kung Fu. In the summer vacation I was able to join a lesson with the boys. It was quite intensive, and I admired his patience, communication and skills of the Instructor Team. We can highly recommend IWKA!

Onze ervaringen met Sihing Paul en de IWKA hebben een zeer positieve uitwerking op de ontwikkeling van onze dochter Katleya van 7 jaar. Wij zijn 3 en half jaar geleden vanuit Zuid-Amerika weer terug naar Nederland verhuisd en wisten gelijk dat wij onze dochter op Kung Fu lessen wouden zetten. Na veel onderzoek hebben we de perfecte opleiding gevonden bij IWKA.

Katleya zelf ervaart de lessen als zeer leerzaam en komt dan ook met veel plezier. Ze kijkt elke week er weer naar uit om te gaan trainen en om weer nieuwe moves te leren die ze dan thuis op mij weer kwam uitproberen of oefenen. Ook haar discipline, fysieke ontwikkeling, flexibiliteit en het geloof in haarzelf is enorm vergroot.

Wij als ouders moeten zeggen dat Sihing Paul en zijn collega’s zeer professioneel zijn en een grote passie hebben voor de Kungfu en de ontwikkeling van hun studenten. IWKA is een academie die de normen en waarden vertegenwoordigen die je van een Kung Fu zou moeten verwachten. Wij zijn dan ook zeer dankbaar voor de lessen en de positieve impact die ze maken op onze dochter.

When my 4 year old daughter Ingeborg insisted on becoming a ninja I started to search for different martial arts that could help her reach her goal. In my search I found a Wing Chun academy that seemed to have good values of respect and knowledge, combined with self-defence and building of confidence.

From the first day at the IWKA academy it was obvious that Sing Paul really possesses these values and has a sincere connection with each student combined with a great deal of patients. For my daughter this resulted in mutual respect, build on kindness and discipline.

Now that we have left Amsterdam and my daughter is no longer able to be a student at the IWKA academy she is so thrilled she can learn from Sing Paul, as she says, her real Wing Chun mentor.

Our 9 year old son Noah has been with IWKA for more than 2 years now and we are still very happy that we made to the decision to become a member. The devotion and dedication of the entire IWKA-team, under the leadership of Sihing Paul Resnick, is extraordinary. The classes improve Noah’s health (both physical and mental), they also teach him to better understand his body and mind, help him to develop martial arts skills and provide him a good set of norms and values. Oh, and don’t forget the fun the kids have every lesson!  I would say that IWKA is not just a place where you learn Kung Fu; it’s a place where you learn about life.

Ik vind dit een hele fijne school omdat er veel aandacht is voor de filosofie achter de vechtsport. Dit wordt door bijna alle anderen scholen over het hoofd gezien, terwijl dit juist nog belangrijker is dan de fysieke oefening naar mijn mening. Ik zie dat mijn zoontje er zowel fysiek als mentaal enorm op voorruit gaat. Ik weet gewoon niet of ik trotser ben op mijn zoontje of op deze school.
