Chau Tinh Tri's master is a master who once gave Bruce Lee pointers 4
Chau Tinh Tri learned about martial arts early, but entered it a bit late.
Not only does he love Bruce Lee, Chau Tinh Tri also wants to learn authentic Wing Chun martial arts like his idol.
Talking about his time studying with martial arts master Hoang Thuan Luong, in an interview in 2003, Chau Tinh Tri said: `I still remember Master Hoang taught me my first boxing lesson and my studies with the brothers.
I also remember Master Hoang, although not young at that time, still maintained his form.

Hoang Thuan Luong was born on May 8, 1935, died on January 28, 1997, at the age of 62.
In his youth, Hoang Thuan Luong was especially passionate about martial arts.
There was a very interesting memory that made him reluctantly give up his boxing gloves.
Too angry, the master kicked Hoang Thuan Luong out of the dojo, refusing to take him back because he thought he was aggressive and difficult to teach.
Then, Hoang Thuan Luong could no longer wear gloves to practice at the kickboxing dojo every day.
Hoang Thuan Luong is one of the elite disciples of martial arts master Diep Man.
One day, his brother’s friend led Hoang Thuan Luong to meet a famous master in Hong Kong.
Upon arriving, because he knew Hoang Thuan Luong was a martial arts practitioner, Diep Man tested his strength by letting him fight against two of his disciples.
Seeing his disciple being beaten to `lose face`, martial arts master Diep Man had to take action, directly competing with Hoang Thuan Luong.
Relying on his youth, after every fall, Hoang Thuan Luong stood up and struck back.
Admiring the master’s profound level, Hoang Thuan Luong immediately asked to worship Diep Man as his master.
Having the foundation and the teachings of master Diep Man, Hoang Thuan Luong is like a fish in water, his level of advancement is outstanding.
Not long after, Hoang Thuan Luong became the chief disciple of martial arts master Diep Man, and was appointed by the master as an assistant instructor, directly teaching Wing Chun to his disciples, one of whom was Bruce Lee.
It was Hoang Thuan Luong who suggested to Bruce Lee about distilling the essence of many martial arts, eliminating the redundant parts to summarize simple but effective techniques.
It can be said that, along with Master Diep Man’s two sons, Diep Chuan and Diep Chinh, and his brother Bruce Lee, Hoang Thuan Luong is one of the pillars that have made the Hong Kong Wing Chun genre famous.
