His life was interesting in its own right, however. The son of a wealthy family, he spent his formative years in Guangdong, where he learned Wing Chun from Chan Wah-shun. He then moved to Hong Kong and continued studying it under the martial artist Leung Bik. In his twenties, Ip moved back to Guangdong and joined the [[UsefulNotes/NoMoreEmperors Kuomintang]], during which he taught martial arts informally, but he relocated back to Hong Kong after the end of the UsefulNotes/ChineseCivilWar.

Ip Man[[note]]occasionally written as Yip Man[[/note]] (1893-1972) was a Chinese grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun.
His life was interesting in its own right, however. The son of a wealthy family, he spent his formative years in Guangdong, where he learned Wing Chun from Chan Wah-shun.

Here, he founded a school and started teaching Wing Chun in earnest.
It was during the Hong Kong years that Ip met and trained his most famous student, Creator/BruceLee (one of the few students he taught personally), before Lee moved to America. Lee's personal style of Jeet Kune Do inherited some aspects of Wing Chun, such as a focus on the centerline and an emphasis on economy of movement.
Ip died of throat cancer in 1972; his sons, Ip Chun and Ip Ching, have strived to preserve their father's legacy by continuing his school and consulting on media involving him. Ching died in 2020.
