With the assistance of the Chin Woo Athletic Association of New Zealand Wellington Branch, a new Chinese Martial Art School is to open soon in Wellington.
Sifu Peter Sue, a long term supporter of traditional Chinese martial arts, has agreed to open a school solely dedicated to teaching traditional Chinese martial arts and culture. Sifu Sue who has been training for some 40 years also operates his own acupressure clinic.
Pictured below is Sue Sifu demonstrating with his student Aaron Chan.
Sifu Peter Sue studied martial arts under the late Sifu Bill Young who in 1968, founded the first Chinese martial arts school in New Zealand. During his early years of training, Sifu Sue had the opportunity to train with visiting Chinese and Japanese sailors, some of whom were masters of various kung fu styles including Hung Gar, White Eyebrow and Chow Gar Southern Praying Mantis. Being one of the founding student’s Sifu was invited to practice in Sifu Bill’s school with these masters who shared their knowledge with Sifu Sue and other high ranking students.
Classes will commence on Monday 18th February 2008. For more information and to register your name, please contact Teresa Chan on 021 075 2838 or chanteres@gmail.com.

Hello,
To simplify the membership administration and to ease the burden for our members having to remember their renewal date which may fall on various times of the year, the 1st of April has now been adopted each year as the renewal date and will take effect forthwith.
At the last CW Executives meeting 02/12/2006, it was assented by all executives to remedy this confusion by adopting for a fixed date renewal for everyone.
For anyone whose membership renewal falls between October to March will only require to pay half of the current annual membership fee ($20) and the full amount if their due date is between April to September.
Furthermore, any prospective new members joining after October 2007 may elect to pay the half fee for the remainder of the year plus the full fee for the following year at the same time. Which means their membership will be valid till 31/03/2009.
Thank you all for your understanding in this matter and for your continual support to CWNZ.
Robert Pointon
New Zealand Chin Woo Secretary General
