He first studied Wing Chun in 1971 under both Grandmaster Joseph Cheng and Sifu Nino Bernardo. In 1981, he founded Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy in Streatham, London, and also Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy in Maidenhead, UK in 1986.
正中 (zhèng zhōng), the Mandarin name of Sifu Chua's Wing Chun Kuen Training Centre (WCKTC) was derived from his master's Chinese name, "鄭忠", better known as Joseph Cheng. WCKTC was established in 2000 when Sifu Chua settled back in Singapore.
Sifu Chua states that Wing Chun Kuen is more than a martial art, it is also a way of life. Its fighting style goes beyond the form of self-defence. It trains and strengthens the well-being of both the body and mind. In fact, Sifu Chua see it as "a beautiful, unusual art as it applies the power and efficiency of our natural body structure to fend off aggressive confrontational force. Its graceful combat comes from the discerning ability of the Art’s core principle – “Knowing when to take action and when not to.”
