Trained here many years ago ('89-'91) in wing chun. Sifu Chu was hard core and also very caring and sincere. Used to have full contact sparring 1 Saturday a month - that was a blast! read more

In 2014, Paul Chu offered me private "women's self-defense lessons" which I believe were a clumsy disguise to grope me inappropriately. I was 17 and very naive. He attempted to explain that it was part of the training, but no grown man should be squeezing UNDERAGE GIRLS on their breasts, training or not. He did not warn me that he was going to touch me there, nor did I consent. I didn't know what was happening. I struggled for so long to look past the shame and embarrassment to see it for what it was. I reported Paul Chu to the Texas DFPS and Bellaire Police for (alleged) child molestation, but unfortunately the statute of limitations has passed. The age of consent in Texas is 17. read more

Chu's Kung Fu - Paul Chu and I in 2014 - Chinese Martial Arts Near Me - Houston, Texas

I've known and trained with Sifu for 30 years.  He's one of the greats.  It's  hard to find an instructor like this anywhere. . He knows a ton on awesome Kung Fu.  He's a traditionalist, first and foremost.  However , if  you're an MMA person,  you still will learn a lot of fighting techniques you can incorporate into your MMA. You will never stop learning with Sifu.  He's upper echelon in the Kung Fu world and is definitely respected for his overall skillset and diplomacy world wide.   Great person, a father-like person in my life and others.  Sifu has taught for many years and has taught thousands of people.  Fun and interesting person that wants you to truly succeed and represent him well.  His  knowledge of  medicine , philosophy,  meditation, fighting  skills,  internal Chi Kung, and weapons, is impressive  folks.  I came from college and relocated to Houston.  I was a 2 time wrestling All Amercan and NYS champion among other accolades. I watched Sifu for less than 30 minutes and knew he was an expert in his craft. It was simply his execution and techniques that wow'd me.  Certainly, as time progressed,, I got to know him much better and realized this guy might be the lasts of the greats left on planet earth.  So I read a couple of negatives, and you know there will always be those.  I think most people, including me, expects to learn all the secret stuff in 2-3 years. It's an American thing. We want to get to the top quickly.   It's just impossible when you're talking Kung Fu.   Your journey starts with knowing Sifu, learning some Kung Fu and gaining his trust. THEN, he will show you all  or most all.  It just depends on the student.  Most people think it's a money thing, it's NOT at all. Certainly, he runs a business, and not everything is for free.  Also, not everything is for sale. Example, if he thinks you don't have the right temperament,  he not going to show you internal Chi Kung or Iron Palm.  To dangerous for you to know. If you learn a weapon, you pay for it in a seminar. It may take him 2-6+ months of follow up training to make sure you have it 100%. So , if you pay $150 to learn a cool form above the standard forms(which is included in your monthly) are you saying that its expensive or greedy.? If so, it's best you find a different school. In a lot of cases for me and other  students with some tenure, he doesn't even charge us anymore.  So , I just wanted to address that for any new students looking. You're always going to have some people expect to much in the beginning and other students that don't have the right temperament (wanting something they can't get at that moment)for the  journey.  Unfortunately,  they will never know what it takes to be a good martial artist and understanding the culture.  This goes for any style,  not just Kung Fu.  In any case, good luck with your choice.  The secret is find the right teacher first. Everything else will follow.  JOE E read more

My son has been going to Chu's Kung Fu for 2 months now and I must say that Sifu Chu produces results with very little yelling! I have known other instructors to be extremely strict with the students. Sifu Chu makes it fun for the kids (mine is 5). There are other kids there who have been training for about a year and their kicks and punches are AWESOME. I've seen my son improve in just a short time and can't wait until he gets to a higher level. My only reservation is there is no separate waiting area, so the students can be distracted with the parents / siblings who are sitting at the back of the studio watching the class. read more

If you wanna learn one of his styles, this guy is the real deal. He offers some styles are aren't usually found and runs the classes effectively. As Confucius once said "By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest" read more

I do call him a Sifu's SiFu- A lot of time people are looking for legitimate instructor. At times It is difficult to learn the style that he teaches, but it is really the difficulty of breaking through the barrier of learning. He teaches the most basic of all teaching and if the expectation is that you would learn his style in a matter of 6 months, I wish you well. It is quite difficult to learn Choy Lee Fut and if you don't have the time to spend, look at another school. It is a small class for the most part and you would have an opportunity to learn one on one. As far as kids classes, he teaches what makes sense and once finished, a child comes out confident and is able to defend himself/ herself. Hope this helps ! read more
