Following the collapse of Nationalist China, Yin moved to Taiwan
where he opened a Kung-Fu school and personally taught over 3,000
students. It was there that he built his Kung-Fu legion and taught and
trained many students to follow in the traditional ways of Northern
Shaolin Kung-Fu. Many of Master Yin's students in Taiwan and America
are still practicing the famous Northern Shaolin System.
In 1976, Grand Master Yin opened the Chinese Kung-Fu Center in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. During his stay in the United States, Grand
Master Yin strived to learn the culture of the American people so he
could effectively teach them. Although his knowledge of the English
language was limited (Yin had not taken up much of the study of the
English language until he was in his seventies), he still managed to
reach those whom he taught. To explain various techniques and lessons,
he used highly expressive gestures, voices and demonstrations to
clarify his actual words. His spirit and good nature charmed all of
his students as he tried his hardest to create students who would
eventually pass on the Kung-Fu which he held so dear.
When Sifu Berry met Chin Ho Yin, the Grand Master was a devoted
leader of the Chinese Community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. There, Grand
Master Yin taught Northern Shaolin Kung- Fu and Wu Style Tai Chi,
practiced Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture and acupressure, and
authored Chinese calligraphy. Grand Master Yin died in June of 1988 at
the age of 85. Since his death, it is believed that only a few of
Yin's students continue to honor his memory by sharing Kung-Fu with
students who would never have the opportunity to learn from him in
person.
