Chu Shong-tin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chu Shong-tin (徐尚田 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 of 1949. He started learning Wing Chun informally in September of 1950 and he became Yip's formal student in January of 1951. Nowadays, he teaches Australian students by body language, or assisted by other Chinese students, since he doesn't speak English. Sometimes, there are more Australians than Chinese in the class.
He wrote the book 《詠春寶鑑》 and produced instructional DVDs.
He is known as the 'King of Siu Nim Tao', Wing Chun's most important form and its crucial foundation. He believes that more time should be given to practise Siu Nim Tao than Chum Kiu and Biu Jee.
