Nim Tao Wing Chun is a focused learning resource dedicated to the internal method of Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin.

This site exists to document, clarify and explore the mechanics behind real Wing Chun development, structure, relaxation, intent and whole body power. It is not a commercial school and does not operate public classes.

The purpose is simple. Preserve the method. Remove confusion. Go deeper than surface level technique.

Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin — the King of Siu Nim Tao

Lineage and Approach

Maksem trained extensively under Sifu Mark Spence, following the Hong Kong approach passed down from Chu Shong Tin.

The emphasis is not on collecting forms or techniques. It is on developing the correct internal feeling. Structure before speed. Relaxation before force. Intent before movement.

Wing Chun is treated as a method of refining the body and nervous system, not as choreography.
