CHIN Pui Yu Micro is the younger of the Chin brothers. They studied under the tutelage of Mak Sifu since 2006 and were the first child students whom Mak Sifu took on. Prior to that, Mak Sifu had not taken on minors below the age of 12 as students as he had considered them too young to understand the principles of Hung Gar. The Chin Brothers’ talent and dedication has changed Mak Sifu’s perception. Indeed, learning Hung Gar, and later performing in school and taking part in competitions, has built Micro’s confidence and self-esteem as a young person over the years.
The Chin Brothers’ parents have been immensely supportive. The brothers since a young age would study with Mak Sifu on multiple days per week, attending his classes in the various sports venues all around Hong Kong which Mak Sifu was then teaching at, including Tai Wo Hau, Tsim Sha Tsui, Tai Wo, Tuen Mun. Since 2014, Micro has been an assistant teacher to Mak Sifu, and now teaches with Sifu at the Martial Club in Kwai Fong. He also hosts a regular Monday Community Class on Zoom with his brother, offering Hung Gar basics workout which could be enjoyed by beginners and advanced practitioners.

我自幼便跟隨麥志剛師傅學習洪拳，現為麥師傅的助教之一，在葵芳武館幫忙教授和指導學生套路。
2006年開始與哥哥一起跟隨麥師傅學習洪拳。在最初期時，麥師傅不收12歲以下的人為學生，麥師傅認為他們難以理解洪拳中的拳理，但後來麥師傅嘗試收取年幼的學生，而我和哥哥就是第一批麥師傅收的年幼學生，自始麥師傅才陸續收取年幼學生。
學習洪拳期間，曾每週多日跟隨麥師傅在多個地點上課，如大窩口、尖沙咀、太和、屯門，慢慢培育出對洪拳的興趣。
最初喜歡上洪拳的原因是因為我認為學習洪拳是一項特別的興趣，當時小學裡沒有其他同學會學習洪拳，只知道有一位同學在學習新派武術。我曾在學校中表演洪拳，並代表學校出外表演。演練洪拳是我為數不多的一項特長，讓自信心低的我慢慢獲得自信。
後來經過長時間持續的練習洪拳，令我對洪拳有了更深的認識，亦同時對自己的表現有了多一點的認知。自始便定立了目標，希望自己的水平能更進一步，一直堅持練習洪拳直至現在，並且成為興趣。
自2014年起，我成為了麥師傅的助教，在課堂上幫忙麥師傅教授和指導學生套路。
此外，我自幼踴躍參與全港的武術賽事(分齡賽、公開賽)，並多次獲獎。
我跟隨麥師傳所學的套路甚多，涉獵的兵器種類廣泛。擅長的套路為虎鶴雙形拳、行者棍。
