REMINDER CHAA EVENTS

The Story of an Australian Kung Fu Master

Date: Sunday 3rd August 2008

Time: 2:30pm

Venue: Sydney Mechanics School of Arts, 280 Pitt St, Sydney.

Cost: $10 for members and $12.50 for non members. Afternoon tea will be served from 2pm- 2:30pm.

Don't miss the fascinating story of Max Austin, a young Australian boy from Wollongong, who became a Master of the Cho Chiao Kung Fu lineage.

Three generations ago, Grand Master Wei Shien Yuan instructed his student, now Grand Master Wei Hsiao Fei, that the last of his ten students was to be chosen from overseas. In 1966, Max was selected and began training from the age of seven and given the Lineage name Wei Tam Tai.

Max Austin is the only westerner to be taught and raised by the Cho Chiao Lineage in the Qiang region of Tibet. Max acheived his Shifu (teacher) red sash grade in 1977 which entitled him to start the Cho Chiao Kung Fu (CCK) Academy in Australia. From 1973 to 1995, he won 534 Asian tournaments and he continues to train and teach everyday.
