The Australian Jow Ga Kung Fu Academy's Master Instructor is Sifu Randy Sullivan Bennett.
Sifu Bennett is an elite athlete and martial artist with 37 years of full-time Kung Fu
training and teaching experience. Upon his arrival in 1982 Sifu established the first
Jow Ga Kung Fu Kwoon in Australia and has led our full-time Academy ever since. Sifu has
been continuously active in the martial arts world devoting his life to Jow Ga Kung Fu -
he practices rigourously and meditates every day.
Sifu began his training in Jow Ga Kung Fu in 1973 under Master Chin Yuk Din in the USA.
He immediately commenced intensive training, then began teaching Jow Ga under the guidance
of Sifu Chin in Washington DC and his interstate Jow Ga branches. Sifu Bennett then spent
almost 3 years sequestered as a monk during which time he devoted his life to community
service, meditation and extensive practice of Jow Ga Kung Fu.
Eighteen year old Randy Bennett performs Jeet Kune form at a Kung Fu demonstration
duing Master Chan Man Cheung's visit to Washington DC (1974).
In his role as Sifu Chin's chosen disciple Sifu Bennett took on the responsibility of
keeping and passing on Jow Ga for his lifetime. After choosing to spread Jow Ga to the
shores of Australia en route in Hong Kong Sifu Bennett also received certification from
Jow Ga's Grand Master Chan Man Cheung.
In the early 1980's Sifu Bennett spent many months in the Republic of China
intensively studying and practicing Chang Chuan (Long Fist) and Chang Chuan
Tanglang (Northern Praying Mantis) under Grandmaster Gao Daosheng. During the
late 80's and early 90's he began training in the dynamic international
performance art of Wushu with the assistance of international Wushu Heros such
Shao Zhao Ming and Chang Xing. Due to Sifu Bennett's background in Northern Kung
Fu styles Australian Jow Ga Kung Fu students can benefit from the influence and
integration of these longer range practices along with our traditional Shaolin
Jow Ga system.
In addition to teaching at the Australian Jow Ga Kung Fu Academy, Sifu Bennett teaches
corporate groups, members of the NSW and Federal Police Department, and has taught martial
moves to a number of Australian dance companies and for the Department of Education. He has
done extensive work with public and private schools both within school sports programs and
extracurricular sport. Sifu is well known and respected within international, national and
local communities and is regularly featured across a variety of publications. Sifu Bennett
along with our Jow Ga Demo Team are in high demand for their spectacular martial displays
and are frequently seen performing and promoting Jow Ga across Sydney and interstate. Gallery >> News >>
