biography (con't)
Chris Burke began his formal martial arts training in Korean Tae Kwon Do at the age of twelve. Shortly after earning his black belt, he left, seeking more serious training. After much searching, he learned of a selective academy headed by Jason Lau, one of the most well respected Wing Chun instructors in the world. At age 16, he was accepted as a student at the academy. After years of demonstrating his diligence and integrity, Master Lau selected him to become a disciple and gave him the name Lau Yat. As a disciple, he learned the most advanced aspects of Wing Chun and also began to teach the students. Ultimately, he became the academy’s chief instructor. He has been teaching Wing Chun since 1992. In 2004, he established Lau Yat Wing Chun Academy in Woodstock, Georgia.
