On May 14th 2007, Si Gong Keith Blackburn, the former keeper of our style passed away after a battle with motorneuron disease.

His passing has saddened not only our academy, but every respected Kung Fu Master and school in Australia. Si Gong Keith was a very highly respected, yet very modest man, who inspired all of his students and taught us to achieve what once seemed impossible to us - not just in the martial arts, but in life itself.

His spirit will always be with us at the Shaolin Kung Fu Academy and his teachings will continue for many years to come.

May he rest in peace knowing how many people will always think of him and will always be grateful for his kindness.
