Sijo Grandmaster Henry Sue, 10th Degree, is the founder of Yuen Mo Pai Kung Fu in Australia. Yuen Mo Pai is a unique synthesis of Southern Praying Mantis, Cotton Palm, Eagle Claw, and Chen and Yang Style Tai Chi, combining circular movement, soft and hard energy, and refined internal principles into a dynamic and effective fighting system.
Born in Guangzhou in 1946, Henry Sue migrated to Australia in 1957 and began training in Tong Long Kung Fu at the age of eleven under Grandmaster Nat Yuen. In 1962, after achieving Red Sash 1st Degree, he initiated a visionary transformation of the art, developing structured grading systems, innovative fighting combinations, and a modernised curriculum that elevated the standard of Chinese martial arts instruction in Australia. Through the Chinese Kung Fu Academy, he has guided generations of students in the principles of discipline, precision, respect, and moral integrity.
On 28 March 2026, Grandmaster Nat Yuen awarded him the 10th Degree Gold Sash and the title of Sijo, recognising nearly seventy years of unwavering dedication, innovation, and leadership.
Beyond martial arts, Sijo Henry Sue has contributed significantly to the broader community through leadership and advisory roles within the National Party and Chinese community organisations, fostering cross-cultural understanding and strengthening Australia–China relations.
For almost seven decades, he has inspired countless students through his teaching, mentorship, and commitment to personal development. Sijo Henry Sue continues to embody the values of respect, discipline, and cultural harmony, ensuring the legacy of Yuen Mo Pai endures for future generations.
