Elliot, along with his brother Wai, developed an interest in martial arts when he was very young. As a teenager he studied wing chun for a couple of years under Sifu Peter Chow. In 2003, he finally enrolled with City WingTsun after researching many martial arts schools in the Fairfield County area. Elliot and Wai both lead the Norwalk classes under the guidance of Sifu Alex.
