Loong Fu Pai Martial Arts

Martial arts training since 1956 in Penang, Malaysia — beginning with Combat Judo under Master Jacky Ooi, then Aikido (Mushindo) with Shihan Francis Ramasamy, and Hokkien Shaolin with Master Ang Ah Hock.

After graduating as an Industrial Chemist in Australia (1968), he trained with Hung Kah Kung Fu, San Chi Kai Karate (graded to Shodan by Shihan Malcolm Lomax), and weapon work at the Melbourne Kendo Club. On 13 January 1981 he founded Loong Fu Pai Martial Arts — a synthesis of over 25 years of cross-training.
