Chris Chan

Chris Chan was born in 1940.

Chan began learning from Yip Man in 1955, studying most intensely during the late 50s.

Chan left for America in 1960. After arriving in San Francisco, he earned a living teaching Wing Chun while studying engineering at college. He earned his degree in mechanical/structural engineering and began his career as a Mechanical Engineer.

Over the past 40 years, he has taught semi-privately, maintaining a low profile. Chan continues to increase his knowledge of Wing Chun with numerous trips to Fatshan.
