Sifu Ding Dao Bai 顶道拜
Sifu Dane's Bak Mei Kung Fu School, an advanced system of martial arts that focuses on intent and developing ging (shock power) and yau gong (flexible power). Sifu Dane has been on a journey of self-discovery and mastery of martial arts for many years, beginning at the age of 31 under the tutelage of his master, Shifu Angelo Clori (Shi Xing Kai Yin).
Shifu Angelo Clori is a 32nd generation disciple of the Cao Tung Chaa'n Tradition and trained in Mizhong quan fa, Cao Tung Shaolin martial & qi gong, TCM, meditation, health & wellness. Sifu Dane's lineage can be traced back to the Mi Zong Chi fa Chuan, the highest priest abbot of northern and southern China and also Shaolin Temple.
Sifu Dane's journey in martial arts took a new turn when another door opened for him. He was fortunate enough to start training under Grandmaster Sifu Dennis Wood in the Ngor Mei Shan Bak Mei Pai and Bak Fu Pai Kung Fu system inherited from Grand Master Doo Wai. This white eyebrow Kung Fu is an extremely explosive and short-range fighting system (HAKKA) that is only found in this Bak Mei Pai.
Sifu Dane's Bak Mei lineage can be traced back to the Doo family, where he is the 8th generation from Bak Mei Dao Yun. He would not have been able to achieve all this without the guidance of Shifu Angelo Kai Clori, and he wishes to acknowledge and give recognition to his master.
School Location: Sydney- Australia

Sifu Marco Santoni-Costantini

However, he first began learning Sanda in 2022 under Sifu Leung Jeung Wai, becoming his second student to reach instructor level. Still following the path for mastery of the style and a deeper understanding of its roots, he has continued studying beyond the level of Black patch. Although he best knows Sanda, he has also practiced Hapkido and Capoeira in the past.

Sifu Douglas dOmit
Sifu Nicholas dOmit
Douglas Domit began his martial arts journey in 1980, training Shotokan Karate in Curitiba. However, his passion and curiosity were always drawn to Kung Fu.
In 1983, he began his Kung Fu training with Hélio, but it was only in 1990, with the arrival of Woo Yiu Wing, that he was finally able to train in traditional Kung Fu—specifically Wing Chun. Wing had just arrived from abroad and had previously been a Kung Fu instructor in Hong Kong.
Douglas trained under Wing’s guidance for ten years. During this time, driven by curiosity and a desire to learn more, he explored other styles of Kung Fu, such as Northern Shaolin and Fei Hok Pai. He eventually earned a black belt in Fei Hok Pai under Professor Luiz Carlos de Souza.
In the year 2000, Douglas began training in Hung Gar and soon after opened his first Kung Fu school in Curitiba, bringing Hung Gar to the city.
It was only in 2024 that Douglas decided to affiliate himself with Master Paulo Silva, a representative of the Brazilian Kung Fu League, becoming connected to the International Chiu Chi Ling Hung Gar Kung Fu Association. He currently represents Chiu Chi Ling and his lineage, serving as the official representative of SiGung Chiu Chi Ling’s lineage in the state of Paraná.
Nicholas Barros de Melo, son of Douglas Domit and a Hung Gar Kung Fu instructor, began training at age five in his father’s school.
Born in 2000, he has practiced Hung Gar since early childhood with consistent dedication.
From ages five to ten, he trained mainly at home with his father, later beginning to attend the academy.
Between ten and thirteen, he continued training only at home, as his father was ill and had transferred the academy to a student.
At thirteen, Nicholas returned to the academy and trained normally until age fifteen, when an injury to his left eye required surgery. During this recovery period, his father introduced him to Tai Chi, which he still practices today.
During the pandemic, Nicholas and Douglas intensified their martial arts training, practicing together for many hours each day.
Even with a shorter story than his father’s, Nicholas already has 20 years of continuous experience in Hung Gar Kung Fu, Sanda, Tai Chi, and Wing Chun. Sifu Douglas and Nicholas are representatives of Chiu Chi Ling in Brazil as students of Shifu Paulo Silva, and they are now members of the Chi Wu Men Athletic Association.
