The history of the Losonczi family and the Faludy Springboard is closely intertwined, with knowledge passed down through generations from teacher to student, father to child. The Faludy Teeterboard was founded by Zsigmond Klein in 1891. In the second half of the 1920s, Zsigmond's eldest son, Sándor, took over the management of the group. They became known for their spectacular and technical tricks, for example, a newspaper reported on the quadruple somersault they performed at the Royal Orfeum.

He created the 7 Faludi acrobatic groups. György Losonczy, Sándor Hegedűs, József Kiss, Katalin Kovács, Ferenc Szabó, András Faragó, Ibolya Balogh. The artistes were already on the scene at the age of 14-18, took part in several tours abroad and, with some changes of personnel, worked together from 1964 until 1976.

After the dissolution of the group, Id. György Losonczi and his wife Zsuzsanna Zay founded a new formation called Kisfaludy Group in 1978.
