Chu Shong-tin
'''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 claims that if the students sell the instructional materials, they must sell them in a higher price.

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]].
