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.
