Chris used to be in the Marines where he started to teach Wing Chun

Chris was offered a place as a Wing Chun instructor in the US Army

Chris actually started to teach Wing Chun to his team, and once his teachings gained popularity among his colleagues the word started to spread and he began to expose Wing Chun to other platoons too. However, the teaching stopped soon since they were called up for war.

Once he returned, he had to choose if he wanted to re-enlist or continue with another path. His sergeant of that time was very supportive of his Wing Chun training at the time and offered him a program in which he could teach Wing Chun to the Army.

Chris refused the Position for his Wife

Chris was offered a position that for a long time has been, as he called it, a dream come true. In fact, since he returned to Hong Kong he dreamed of going back to the United States in order to promote Wing Chun inside the Army. However, such a decision would require a complete lifestyle change, and this time Chris couldn't decide all by himself.

Chris was in a happy relationship with his then-girlfriend and going back to the US would have a large impact on their relationship. In this sense, he decided to bring his girlfriend with him and show her around and how would their life be. However, his girlfriend was not a huge fan of that possible new chapter and declined Chris's offer. For this reason, Chris decided to give up on this chapter of his life and continue with new ones.

Chris is a shining example of what it means to be a dedicated Wing Chun practitioner. He has demonstrated that it is possible to find success in martial arts without sacrificing one's family and relationships.
