Master Bill Chun - Successor

Master Bill Chun was born in Hawaii 1953. He started his training at the age of 5 under his father, Grandmaster William Q.C. Chun Sr. At age seven while still living in Hawaii, Professor Chow began teaching Master Chun jr. the Go Shin Jitsu Kenpo system that his father started a short time ago. The training he received from his Father and Professor Chow developed his patience, discipline, and power.
At age 26 Master Bill Chun earned his black belt from his Father and Professor Chow, the two most important men in his life.
As time went on Master Chun continued to learn, train, and test the concepts handed down to him by his two teachers. As Professor Chow would say many times to him, "he wanted his mulberry leaves to turn into silk". This being the true test of his training. The long journey was rewarded with Master Bill Chun having mastered both of Professor Chow's systems. The only other person to do so besides his father. This accomplishment was also recognized by Professor Chow.
After the death of Professor Chow in 1987 and his father in 1993, Master Bill Chun took his rightful place as head of the Chow/Chun System.
Today Master Bill Chun continues to share the teachings of his father and Professor Chow to private students and to others in seminars and workshops.
