“As a student of CWF for 10 years, Chinese martial arts has allowed me to discover and learn aspects of Chinese culture and heritage that I would otherwise not have known. Through Sifu Chan, I learnt that Chinese martial arts is not simply learning how to move in a particular way, it is learning the respect, honour, and discipline that has been ingrained into this traditional art.”
C. Lam
Student“After I began Christian Wushu Fellowship, I started off with basic principles – to lay the foundation of my art. Sifu Chan taught that martial art must connect to everything, and it began to impact my life – the way I spoke, the philosophy, wisdom – everything. I felt that my teacher could connect to me, and also introduced to me to more of my own culture in hopes of finding a way to connect to the art. Wingchun began to be incorporated into my life, and I discovered how to handle myself, and to hold myself with a presence. Christian Wushu Fellowship is welcoming and open to anyone who wishes to join, and I deeply recommend it.”

Student“We have known Sigong Nelson Chan for about a year and a half, and have had nothing but great experiences with him. Every time we are with him he is very kind and caring. He cares a lot about the growth of his students and teaches only the truth, as best as he knows it. When he speaks of teaching, it is with passion and you can tell that he has a lot of love to give to his students.”
