”Master Di is a generous teacher with an effective system of teaching. He tailors the learning based on individual students’ needs and challenges. We are lucky to have such a high calibre teacher of traditional Chinese martial arts in Australia.”

”Di Guoyong teaches traditional Chinese Martial Arts in a modern way. He respects his students and customises his teaching to cater to each student strength, weakness and interests to develop them to their best of their ability irrespective of age and fitness level. I started learning BGZ with Master Di when I was in a full leg brace due to a partially torn left knee quadriceps and my speedy recovery was due to his assistance and how he helped me with my BGZ training. He is a patient, practical and insightful Martial Art teacher.”
