Head Master Jung-Il Oh,
Haidong Gumdo and WTF Taekwondo 7th Dan.
Master Oh was born in the democratic republic of South Korea in 1967. He began his taekwondo training, like many Koreans, at the age of 5. He continued his training through adolescence and teenage year’s right through his compulsory military service in the Korean armed forces. Acting as a body guard during the Seoul Olympics and furthering his education shortly after, he was then introduced to Haidong Gumdo by his TKD Master, Grand Master Cho. Master Oh moved to Australia in 1999 with the full support of the World Haidong Gumdo Federation, to set up the Australian Haidong Gumdo Association. He also established his Dojang, Southern Cross Korea Martial Arts at McGregor in Brisbane teaching Taekwondo and Haidong Gumdo.
Master Oh has been awarded the prestigious title of Excellent Master Awarded at both the 2004 and 2008 World Haidong Gumdo Championships, and in 2010 The Australian Haidong Gumdo association was awarded the best in the world. Now holding the rank of 7th Dan and international Instructors accreditations in both styles, he is considered to be an outstanding master and practitioner by his peers and students alike. His ardent wish is to make Haidong Gumdo the pre-eminent martial art in Australia, and with his passion and commitment is well on his way to success!

He later joined San Chi Kai Karate under the guideance of Shihan Malcolm Lomax who graded him to Shodan (Black Belt). In the following years Master Lim has cross trained with various Karate and Kung fu styles to gain varied experience including weapon work with the Melbourne Kendo Club under Sensei Nagai.
On the 13th of January 1981 he formed Loong Fu Pai Martial Arts, a mixture of all the knowledge he had acquired over a period of 25 years. Loong Fu Pai is a freestyle combination of all these systems culminating in a strong and unique style. Loong Fu Pai has expanded rapidly throughout Victoria and is seen as a family club with national success in Kung Fu, Karate and Kickboxing.
Ten Katas (forms) were formulated by Master Lim incorporating the strong animal characteristics and philosophy of his style. Grading requires knowledge of both Chinese and Japanese cultural history, with the skilful completion of kata and fighting techniques.

A bit about me

Shihan 5th Dan Karate Loong Fu Pai
Kwan Jang Nim 5th Dan Haidong Gumdo
I have been in training in martial arts for 26 yrs.
My main love is Karate then Swords.
I got involved with Karate through my children when they were training,
I was one of the mum's on the side saying "come on it is easy"
Well Kancho came over and said to us all,
"do you think it is easy come with me"
and that was the start of the Ladies class Tuesday mornings.
So I have been around Martial arts with my children's training for nearly 30 yrs.
I discovered Haidong Gumdo when I moved to Queensland.
I saw a street demo and wow it felt awesome to watch them a week later
I was in class and the rest is history.
I teach both styles in Jimboomba so it is never too late to start.
