Grandmaster Wong later established himself in Fow Shek village where he opened the Heung Hing Federation and took thirty children between the ages of 8 to 15 as his students.</p> <p class="verdana9ptwhite">Paul Chan was among the thirty students to enrol in the school and spent 6 years under Grandmaster Wong's gruelling regimen. Forging their skills with hard work and discipline, Grandmaster Wong made his students recite the following dictum on a daily basis, "Never be afraid of the strong, for you have fast hands and feet. Develop fast hands, quick eyes, powerful techniques, and a quick mind."</p> <p class="verdana9ptwhite">After six long years under Grandmaster Wong's arduous training regimen, Master Paul Chan had built a solid foundation in Chinese martial arts. With refined skills and spirit, this would mark the very beginning of Master Paul Chan's journey.</p> <p class="verdana9ptwhite"><strong><br /> Tutelage Under a Legend<br /> </strong>In 1949, Master Paul Chan took what he had learned in mainland China and moved to Hong Kong.

Over the course of many years, Master Paul Chan excelled in the style and forged a strong bond with Grandmaster Chan Dau. The two men shared a special relationship, as Master Paul Chan soon became the Grandmaster's "personal bodyguard" at every important occasion.</p> <p class="verdana9ptwhite">With a strong knowledge of Do Pi, fighting application techniques, and heigong, Master Paul Chan took what he learned from Grandmaster Chan Dau and later moved to Canada.</p> <p class="verdana9ptwhite"><br /> <strong>A New Legacy<br /> </strong>In 1961, Master Paul Chan founded Hong Luck Kung Fu Club with a handful of associates in Toronto, Canada. Since that time, <a href="/hong-luck.php" class="verdana9ptwhite">Hong Luck Kung Fu Club</a> continues to share <a href="/choi-lee-fut-styles.php" class="verdana9ptwhite">Choi Lee Fut</a> and <a href="/do-pi-styles.php" class="verdana9ptwhite">Do Pi</a> with dedicated students of the martial arts.</p> <p class="verdana9ptwhite">Master Paul Chan also holds a black belt in judo, which he earned under Sensei Frank Hatashita between the years of 1958 to 1965.</p> <p class="verdana9ptwhite">Grandmaster Paul Chan passed away on July 5, 2012 in Toronto.
