Peter Chin

Peter Chin, a private student, close friend and personal confidante of the founder of jeet kune do and actor Bruce Lee, shared numerous similarities with his dai sifu. They grew up in Hong Kong, attended the same school (St. Francis Xavier College) and even learned wing chun gung fu before immigrating to America. Lee and Chin also shared their native Cantonese dialect and a strong upbringing in Chinese culture. Chin is the last person who received the jeet kune do certificate that states he was “personally taught by Bruce Lee”. He is the only student who attended both funerals held to honor Lee, one in Hong Kong and another in Seattle. As an entrepreneur and businessman, Chin has been a resident of Las Vegas for more than 50 years. His personal relationship with Lee opened many doors for him and afforded him the opportunity to meet with several heads of state from different countries.
