I acknowledge firstly my parents, Malcolm & Gloria Sue.  My father for being my Si Fu and mentor, sharing with me his knowledge of Chinese Martial Arts and Traditional Medicine.  Sharing his experiences in life and allowing me to discover the courage it takes to stand in the face of total disagreement.  My mother for her love and nurturing.  Through her I discovered the meanings of support, courage, devotion, loyalty and strength.

The late Grandmaster Ip Shui of Tung Kong Chow Gar Tong Long Pai, Southern Preying Mantis Kung Fu (Hong Kong) for capturing my father’s love for fighting.

Grandmaster Dr. Nat Yuen (Hong Kong) who with my father developed the following of Tong Long in Brisbane, Queensland during the 1960’s.

Master Kim of Guangdong Province (China), my first teacher of Chen Style Tai Chi (1987).

Sharon and Roy Aveling of Clear Perceptions (Perth, 2003).  Roy for his support and love during one the Academy’s most difficult financial evolutions.  Sharon for her support and teaching during the most challenging time of my life, her amazing wisdom and for sharing her gift of healing.

Si Fu HP Siow (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 2007) for sharing his art and love for Lion Dancing.

The many Instructors, Red Belts and Students of the past whom without their love and trust in me, I would not have the opportunity I have today to share this art.

My current team of Instructors lead by Dai Si Hing Robert Grandison, an awesome individual who stands by my side, leading the Ging Mo Academy into its next level of being.

Current students of Ging Mo Academy who share the love of this wonderful art and share in this amazing journey.

I acknowledge my son Jhung (Sheng) for his love of life, martial arts and in pursuing his dream.

Everyday I feel the privilege, the love and I acknowledge the trust you all have with me to guide the art and the academy into the future.  I am honoured to be a part of your lives, to share and to be your Si Fu.
