About Black Lion Martial Arts
Black Lion Martial Arts is one of the few schools in Australia where students can learn traditional Choy Li Fut Kung Fu alongside Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan under one roof. Based in Underwood, the school carries a respected lineage and offers a learning system unlike most others, pairing weekly private instruction with group training so students progress quickly and with confidence.
Members describe the training as excellent all-round exercise that builds fitness, strength, balance, coordination and flexibility, while also developing resilience, respect and self-discipline. The instructors are consistently praised as approachable, knowledgeable and professional, and the supportive culture makes the school welcoming to newcomers and experienced martial artists alike.
For anyone in Brisbane's southern suburbs drawn to authentic Chinese martial arts, whether for self-defence, fitness or the meditative, rejuvenating qualities of Tai Chi, Black Lion offers a well-maintained training space and a clear, structured path. The combination of personal attention and traditional teaching makes it a standout option for committed long-term study.
