Mr. Lim was born into
a Malayan family of Kung Fu practitioners, his uncle was Head of the
Eagle Claw division of Ching Wu and his grandmother a practitioner
of Lotus style of Kung Fu, yet Mr. Lim began his formal training in
Kyokushinkai Karate. Willy enjoyed the usual dose of injuries and
through his physician, began his training in
Tai Chi with Master Yo
Ching-hai, a disciple of Master Cheng Man-ching. In 1963 Mr. Lim
began his training in Taekwondo under the legendary Choi Chang Kim
in Penang. By the early 70’s Mr. Lim was attending a university in
New Zealand and teaching Taekwondo there. Because of his already
diverse training and an encounter with Professor Wally Jay, Willie
sought out Master Oyata, the top
Tuite practitioner in the USA. Mr.
Lim has gained a tremendous following of top instructors seeking his
knowledge and enjoys the full support of legends such as Professor
Wally Jay and Bill “Superfoot” Wallace. Mr. Lim represents the USA
