'''Chu Shong Tin''' ({{zh|c=徐尚田|j=ceoi<sup>4</sup> soeng<sup>6</sup> tin<sup>4</sup>}}; June 6, 1933 <ref>{{cite web |title=81TH BIRTHDAY BANQUET OF GRANDMASTER CHU IN 2014 07/06/2014 |url=https://ctd.hk/dev/cstalumni/en/new/2014%e5%b9%b4%e5%be%90%e5%b8%ab81%e6%ad%b2%e5%a3%bd%e5%ae%b4-07062014 |website=2014年徐師81歲壽宴-07062014 |accessdate=23 June 2019 }}{{Dead link|date=July 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> – July 28, 2014) was the third student of martial arts teacher [[Ip Man]] in the discipline of [[Wing Chun]].

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.<ref name=cancer>Lam, Lana  (Sep 11, 2011) "Grandmaster of wing chun wins fight with cancer". ''South China Morning Post''</ref> He taught select students from all over the world, communicating with English speaking students through body language and hands on demonstration, or was assisted by other Chinese students, since he didn't speak English. Though he considered himself retired, he accepted students for the purpose of passing on his understanding of Nim Lik to ensure its survival.

He wrote the book 《詠春寶鑑》 and has produced instructional [[DVDs]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.everythingwingchun.com/chu-shong-tin-wing-chun-dvds-books-downloads-s/125.htm|title=Chu Shong Tin Wing Chun DVDs Videos|website=www.everythingwingchun.com|access-date=2019-01-19}}</ref>

Master Chu Shong Tin has said to become proficient in wing chun is that: “Practicing, discussing and questioning are the best ways to success".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.hchwingchun.com.au:80/|title=Thoughts When Approaching Twenty Years in Wing Chun|last=|first=|date=2018-01-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180120183426/http://www.hchwingchun.com.au/|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 20, 2018|access-date=2019-01-20}}</ref>
