Master Chu demonstrates Heel Kick (Times Square, 1996)

C.K. Chu was born in Hong Kong in 1937 where, at the age of twelve, he began his martial arts training.

He has taught Tai Chi for over 30 years and has demonstrated both Tai Chi and Nei Kung on network and cable TV.

He holds a B.A. and M.A. in Physics, which he has taught at Queens College (C.U.N.Y.), New York Institute of Technology, and at Brooklyn Technical High School. In 1995, he retired from the field of physics to devote his teaching exclusively to the internal arts. His background in science enables him to correctly apply the principles of Tai Chi, and to explain them in Western scientific and philosophical terms.

Master Chu is the author of the books Tai Chi Chuan Principles and Practice, The Book of Nei Kung, Chu Meditation, Eternal Spring Chi Kung and Why Tai Chi?, and the instructional videos Chu Nei Kung and Chu Tai Chi.
