Instructor Brendan Bail
Brendan Lee Bail has over 25 years’ experience in training and teaching martial arts. Now entering his 50’s, Brendan has increasingly found the economy and simplicity of Wing Chun to be both practical and effective.
Brendan is a certified Second Level (Grade Seven) Wing Chun Practitioner, awarded by Sifu Allan F Graham in 2012. He is also a certified instructor with Martial Arts Australia (MAA) which is the peak industry body for the martial arts community.
In 2023 Brendan completed his Level 1 with Sifu Adam Chan (Sifu Joseph Boychuck, Moy Yat Lineage) and followed this with completing his Level 2 in 2024.
Since November 2016 Brendan has been studying Practical Wing Chun under Sifu Anto Abramovic (lineage of Grandmaster Wan Kam Leung & Sifu Allan Graham).
Brendan trained under Sifu Allan Graham for 11 years (2005 – 2016) as well as a short, intensive and highly educational stint of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in 2014 (Will-Machado) & trained Gracie Combatives during the COVID lockdowns. Since mid 2024 Brendan has enjoyed putting on his white belt and training BJJ at Epic under Danny Weir and Tom Adam.
From 1989-1997 Brendan was a practitioner of Tae Kwon Do (National School, instructors Garry Seary, Paul Welch and Robert de Groot) and Kickboxing / freestyle Karate (Zen Do Kai, instructor Michael Domaschenz).
He also holds a current First Aid Certificate, a Dealing with Vulnerable People card, and has completed the Australian Sports Commission NCAS: Beginning Coaching General Principles course.
Outside of Martial Arts Brendan has also attained a ANU Bachelor of Arts (Ancient History & Archaeology major), an AMEB Pianoforte Grade 8, and a Cert IV in Government Procurement & Project Management.
