When Eddie Chong saw Li's Bak Mei, he felt Li's style of Bak Mei complemented his Wing Chun and could take his Wing Chun to new heights of technicality and aggressiveness. Chong asked Master Li if he would teach him Bak Mei. Li decided to take Chong under his tutelage due to Pan Nam accepting Eddie Chong as his disciple and trained him intensely from 1990-1996.
