About Us
Martial Arts Melbourne flourished when Dr Pier Tsui-Po founded the Golden Lion Academy in 1971 in Melbourne, the capital city of the State of Victoria, Australia.
During the 1970’s and early 1980’s, the academy was known as the Golden Lion Kung Fu Schools.
In those formative years of Golden Lion, Dai Sifu Pier Tsui-Po was one of the first few, if not, the only instructor in the Western world who dared to teach traditional kung fu to non-Chinese in Melbourne.
By the mid-1980’s when brothers Charles and Richard Tsui-Po completed their training under Pier, they expanded the programmes offered by the school. The original name was changed to Golden Lion Academy and the three brothers became owners and operators of the academy.
