Introduction:
Their school was founded in 1958 and established in Brisbane, Australia. They are the oldest Kung Fu school in Australia and for over 50 years their schools have grown throughout the country and abroad.
Their Sifu, 9th Degree Grandmaster Henry Sue commenced martial arts training (Praying Mantis Style of Kung Fu) at the age of 11 years. He trained under Master Nat Yuen, who was a 9th degree Gold Belt, the highest grade of his generation in Hong Kong. He has trained for over 56 years and has been teaching martial arts for over half a century.
His style of teaching is very much ‘hands on,’ personally teaching 5 times a week. A direct descendant of the Chen School of Tai Chi, he has uniquely incorporated the circular ‘yin and yang’ principles of Tai Chi into Kung Fu. This has produced a pure fighting system, which he has given his own name, Henry Sue Circular Tong Long.
Their training is available to all. Whether you are young or old, in good health or aspiring to be, they can help you achieve your goals. Enter into a training program of Kung Fu or Tai Chi that is challenging, promotes self-discipline, and keeps you motivated.
