Fantastic experience: You don't need to hesitate sending your kids to this school. Sifu Scott has perfect knowledge of what kung fu essentially is - achieving a result through developing one's mental and physical strengths. Deep understanding of the training method, solid punching and kicking techniques, comprehensive explanations of every nuance of the form, personal day-to-day commitment multiplied by great positive attitude and a sense of humour - that's what Sifu Scott has to offer! I am very grateful my daughter had a chance to be his student - thanks Scott!

Fantastic experience: Sifu Scott has been an amazing instructor, mentor, roll model and friend to our 3 children. They've grown up doing Kungfu, 2 now hold black belts and the 3rd is going for brown. As their Mum I feel they've gained the confidence, focus and determination to be successful in their future endeavors. I'm forever thankful to Scott for playing an important part in their lives. His presence, wacky jokes and support is surely missed at Petone Kungfu.

Fantastic experience: For the past 7 years Sifu Scott has been my instructor and role model. As an instructor he is fun, energetic and supportive. You will never have the same class twice. Sifu Scott will have you push yourself to be better than you were last class- and he does it in a supportive environment where he makes sure that every student feels comfortable and safe. Sifu Scott’s teaching will raise your self confidence, resilience, and skills. Could not recommend him highly enough. Go along to a class and see for yourself.

Fantastic experience: sifu scott has been my instructor for 5-6 years now, and made a massive difference to my life. He was not only an instructor but also a mentor.
