INNER CHAMBER DISCIPLE

CONTEXT OF BECOMING AN INNER CHAMBER DISCIPLE OF A TRADITIONAL GONG FU GRANDMASTER

To explain Alan’s personal context of becoming and being an Inner Chamber Disciple of a traditional Gong Fu Master, especially a legendary Grandmaster [awarded the Honour of the title of ‘Living National Treasure’ during his lifetime by the Government of the Peoples Republic of China] requires some explanation. 

Mr Yap Cheng Hai, the First and most Senior and highly respected Inner Chamber Disciple of Grandmaster Chee Kim Thong [personally responsible for bringing Grandmaster Chee out of semi-retirement] was a person of great influence in the direction of Shifu Alan Tinnion’s martial arts development and relationship first as a student then as a Disciple, with Master Chee: a friend and guide who was always available to offer his experienced words of wisdom and counsel.
