Chin Wu was established by Shakespeare Chan, it closed down many years ago. Sifu Chan later with some of his old students from Ling Nam open another school called Tibetan White Crane, but also closed down. Chan doesn't teach anymore. He got many students in Hung Gar and Mantis, Frank Rivera is one of them. I have learned some of his forms in Mantis, White Crane and Hung Gar through his former students during my stay at Ling Nam before. Alex Co was one of his non- Ling Nam students, another prominent student of Chan is Julio Kwong. Joseph Alzate a friend of mine was also his student before. Chan operates a hobby shop store called Lil's in Makati. Chan studied Mantis from Chiu Chi Man, Hung Gar from Lau Ke Tong (Liu Qi Dong) and White Crane from Ou Hai, but later trained with Ngai Yuk Tong. He published a Mantis Fist book with Alex Co, many decades ago. Hope that helps.
