This is a membership booklet for the Singapore Chin Woo Athletic Association. The Singapore Chin Woo Athletic Association is a martial arts organisation that was founded in Shanghai around 1909 to 1910. The Chin Woo Association itself is notable for being one of the first public Chinese martial arts institutes that had a structured curriculum for learning martial arts. The Singaporean branch was established on 9 August 1922 and is considered one of the oldest Chinese martial arts organisations in Singapore.
