Barry Pang, 吴国树 (born 11 August 1951) is a martial arts instructor who was involved in the development and growth of kung fu in Australia.

[10] He began studying Tae Kwon Do at high school and continued practising until leaving university.

Pursuing his martial arts interest in 1973 he travelled to Hong Kong to study Wing Chun kung fu under Wong Shun Leung.

Upon returning to Melbourne he opened a Wing Chun school in Australia alongside William Cheung.

Whilst in Hong Kong he also studied Choy Li Fut with Hom Keung.

In the early 1990s Pang met Wu Hua Tai, a Southern Dragon Kung Fu (Lung Ying) practitioner who was a senior student of Grandmaster Lam Yiu Gwai.

[16][17] Described by the 'Sunday Observer' as a "Kung-Fu War"[16] Cheung challenged him to a 'duel in unarmed combat' to which Pang replied 'It all sounds like a cheap Hong Kong movie'.

[14] These were the earliest Australian full contact tournaments open to all styles of martial arts.

He was noted figure in early Australian Martial arts, having associations with key instructors in Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, Kickboxing and Karate.

Tino Ceberano, the father of Australian Karate writes 'My good friend, Sifu Barry Pang, a kung fu master, shared some dojo space with us in the city dojo...It's notable because i dont think you'd find many instances of Karate and Kung Fu sharing training space or having much to do with each other in that era.

'[20] The Barry Pang Kung Fu Schools expanded rapidly in the 70s in the Melbourne CBD and decentralised into the suburbs in the 80s.

In 2002 Pang's student Alastair Boast helped thwart the Monash University shooting and received a gold medal from Royal Humane Society of Australasia.
