Chow Ting Yu (Chinese: 周定宇; pinyin: Zhōudìngyǔ), known professionally as Marvel Chow, is a retired professional wushu taolu athlete and actor from Hong Kong.
Career
Wushu
In his youth, Chow wanted to pursue a career in badminton and decided to learn wushu when he was 14 on the side to help him improve on his main sport.[1][2] Unexpectedly, he chose instead to pursue wushu. He went to train at the Beijing Sport University and became a member of the Hong Kong Wushu Team in 1995.[1][3]
Chow made his international debut at the 1999 World Wushu Championships where he became the world champion in qiangshu and also won a bronze medal in jianshu.[4][5] Two years later at the 2001 World Wushu Championships, he was a double silver medalist in jianshu and qiangshu.[6] His last competition was at the 2003 World Wushu Championships where he was once again the world champion in qiangshu and a silver medalist in the inaugural rendition of duilian.[7][8]
Acting
After retiring from competitive wushu, Chow started practicing wing chun which eventually led to his acting roles starting with Ip Man in 2008.[2]
