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.
