Welcome to the official martial arts association website of the Swiss Chin Woo Kung Fu Athletic Association!
The Meaning – The word Chin (Jing in Cantonese) means refined, top-notch, or spirit. The word Woo (Mo in Cantonese) means military, martial arts, brave and daring. The first official Chin Woo school was founded around 1909 in Shanghai, China. By naming Chin Woo Athletic Associaton rather than Kung Fu Association, the founders ensured that rebellious and militaryist conflicts could be avoided. This helped to deter both the general public and local authorities from worrying about an association of this newly established school with subversive activities.
