Discover Mona Vale: The Perfect Setting for a Martial Arts Journey

Welcome to Mona Vale, a gem nestled in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, and the proud host of our upcoming AWCF 2023 conference at Dragon Tao Kung Fu, one of the premier kung fu schools in Sydney.

Mona Vale is not just a place for training; it’s a destination that perfectly blends the discipline of martial arts with the tranquility of a beach town. The venue itself, Dragon Tao Kung Fu, is a testament to this, offering a unique setting that combines the focus of martial arts with the serene backdrop of the surrounding coastal town.

Just a stone’s throw away from the venue, you’ll find some of Sydney’s most stunning beaches. Whether you’re an early bird who loves a sunrise swim or someone who enjoys a leisurely stroll along the beach after a day of rigorous training, Mona Vale has you covered. Notable locations such as Manly and Palm Beach offer breathtaking views and a chance to unwind and soak up the Australian sun.

But the allure of Mona Vale extends beyond its sandy shores. It’s a place steeped in history and culture. The Northern Beaches were originally inhabited by the Guringai people, and the region is dotted with sites featuring Aboriginal rock engravings and art. Did you know that Freshwater Beach, a short distance away, was the site of the first recorded surf in Australia? It was here in 1915 that Duke Kahanamoku, a Hawaiian surfer and Olympic swimmer, introduced the sport to the country. This fascinating piece of history adds to the charm of this coastal paradise.
