The way is no mere discipline to be studied and sampled. It is a philosophy of life. It requires absolute submission. There is nothing more I can teach you -- until you choose between this world and the one you left Chu Chin Li
Chu Chin Li (along with Tsunemoto the Yakuza assassin) is probably the mentor most responsible for Batmans martial arts prowess. He taught the young Bruce Wayne every move in the book (and a few more that probably werent). He also practiced acupuncture. Li believed that to do good deeds was to endure suffering, which might explain why he also counted Chinese Triads amongst his many students. Chu Chin Li considered Bruce Wayne to be his favourite student and wanted him to stay on at the school permanently, but young Bruce Wayne, of course, had other plans. Eventually, poor old Chu Chin Li was executed by beheading. It is implied that he had fallen afoul of either The Red Army or The Triads, but well probably never know for sure. Chu Chin Li first appeared (in flashback) in the 50th anniversary story Blind Justice by Sam Hamm and Denys Cowan (1989).
