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
