Black Lion Martial Arts
Black Lion Martial Arts is a Kung Fu and Tai Chi Training School specialising in the teaching of Choy Li Fut Kung Fu and the Yang Style of Tai Chi Chuan. The school is located on the south side of Brisbane, Queensland, just 15-20 minutes from the city.

At Black Lion, we aim to provide an environment and coaching that challenges people, not just to better themselves in the martial arts, but overall as a person and as a member of their families and communities.Our values focus not just on the health benefits and self-defense aspects of martial arts, but also on the holistic growth of the student, both internal and external.
Services
Whether you choose to join a school or not, we encourage everyone to challenge yourself every day, in ways both big and small, to reach higher, search further, and never settle for less. Kung Fu and Tai Chi training provides a fun and exciting way to improve your health, gain confidence, and learn self defence.
Tai Chi is often mistakenly thought of, in the western world, as a slow motion, "waving arms", sort of calisthenics for elderly people who "can't" work out in any other way. While Tai Chi has tremendous benefits for overall stress relief, body rejuvenation, and mental acuity, the true art of Tai Chi is nothing like those more basic stereotypes.
Black Lion Martial Arts is an outstanding training facility, where students have the opportunity to learn traditional Choy Li Fut Kung Fu. The instructors are approachable, knowledgeable and professional. The learning system at Black Lion is unlike any other, every student gets one private lesson a week, allowing students to work on the smallest details, to execute techniques with perfect form.

I attended my first Yoga class with BLMA tonight, which was great! I am an absolute beginner and not flexible at all, so I was quite apprehensive but our instructor Catherine took things gradually and gave alternative options for the more advanced students. Catherine also often reminded the class it was okay if we couldn’t do a move and provided a… good amount of opportunities to rest. Catherine explained movements well and as I became more comfortable within the session I was able to rely less on visual input and instead just listen to the instruction, which always included the appropriate

My kids enjoy kung fu so much that they didn't want to learn any other martial arts. So I was really fortunate I found out about BLMA. My kids' passion for kung fu grow stronger each time they attend their private lessons and group classes. BLMA's method of coaching is wonderful. The instructors focus on the students' abilities and development. I highly recommend Black Lion to anyone interested in learning martial arts. Kudos to Sifu and his amazing staff!

This is a really great place to learn traditional Chinese martial arts. One of the few places in Australia where you can learn Choy Li Fut Kung Fu as well as a Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan in one school. The Chief Instructor Gabe Nicklas is associated with the world renown Grandmaster Doc Fai Wong. So the training couldn't be more authentic. The staff are super friendly and knowledgeable. I'd highly recommend this school.
