My Story
33rd Generation Shaolin Practitioner:
Joseph "Yong Tzsu" Lipoma.
I have been practising Shaolin Kung Fu for over 18 years and believe that the traditional roots of Wu Yi (Martial Arts) have relevant applications in modern society. I am lucky enough to have a strong lineage with the original Warrior Monks from the Shaolin Temple and apply an old school mentality to my training.
I have always wanted to help people and received a graduate degree in Psychology at The University of Sydney. Prior and during my studies I trained in Shaolin Kung Fu under the tutorship of Grand Master Shifu Brett Russell. I slowly developed an understanding of the benefits of Kung Fu in mental and physical health.
18 years later I am 1 year away from receiving a Master status as Shifu and continue to find new appreciation for the Wuyi Syllabus!
Through Shaolin Kung Fu I aim to help others increase their physical fitness, focus and self esteem so that people may better themselves in other aspects of their lives. The outcome of each student may vary but i will put in 100% of my knowledge and effort so that you can achieve your own personal goals.
