Martial Arts Master Review : Chu Shong Tin

Chu Shong Tin, born 1933 was the third student of martial arts teacher Yip Man in the discipline of Wing Chun, and remained at Yip Man's school to become his senior instructor. He moved to Hong Kong in November 1949, started learning Wing Chun informally in September 1950. The 17-year-old Chu was a secretary at a restaurant at whose premises Ip held classes, which he audited. Chu became

Yip's formal student in January 1951. As his health was not good, he took a concept-based form of the discipline.Today, he teaches selected students from all over the world, communicating with English speaking students through body language and hands on demonstration, or assisted by other Chinese students, since he doesn't speak English. Though he considers himself retired, he accepts students for the purpose of passing on his understanding of Nim Lik to ensure its survival.
