Founded locally in 1990, Dr. Yi-Yen (Ian) Lee created Wu Zen Dao (The Way of Martial Arts Zen), a martial arts academy where students can develop their physical body through Chinese martial arts, their mind through research and training, and ultimately their spiritual body through qi gong, meditation and living the Way of Martial Art Zen.

With ongoing links to China and Taiwan, Brisbane Kung Fu has firmly established itself as a leading Kung Fu Academy in Australia.
Shifu Jason King has been studying martial arts for over 26 years. Jason is highly regarded in the martial arts community for his great skill and comprehensive knowledge of martial arts, and his excellent, accessible teaching style. Jason’s first substantial involvement in martial arts began with studying Togakure Ryu Ninjutsu for three years under Sensei John Nalder until Sensei Nalder’s retirement. This provided confidence, positive mentality, combat attitude and survival skills that remain with him to this day.
In 1990 Jason met Master Yi-Yen (Ian) Lee, who was at the time founding the Wu Zen Dao School in Brisbane, Australia. Initiated by Master Ian Lee, Jason was inducted as a disciple (private student) and trained daily in both the Internal and External martial arts. Jason lived with Master Lee for a year and in 1992 they travelled to Taiwan to meet and train under Master Lee’s own Grandmasters. By 1993 Jason achieved the rank of Tai Ji Instructor, and the following year that of Shaolin Kung Fu Instructor. In 1995, Jason took over the running of classes at the school.
Jason has several referee accreditations including a 2nd level national judge within the National All Styles Tournament circuit. As a competitor, Jason has received well over 100 trophies in various tournament categories including forms, demonstrations, weapons and fighting. The combat events included points sparring, grappling, push hands, continuous fighting and full contact bouts in various competitions. More than 30 awards have been for State, National or International Titles. Proudly, Shifu Jason can boast several National Title holders amongst his ranks.
