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. 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.

Two years later at the 2001 World Wushu Championships, he was a double silver medalist in jianshu and qiangshu. 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.
