Ip Man Wing Chun is one of the schools of Wing Chun, mainly spread in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Ip Man is the disciple and grandson of Mr. Liang Zan of Foshan of the Wing Chun School. In 1950, Wing Chun was promoted in Hong Kong. Famous successors include Liang Xiang, Luo Yiu, Huang Chunliang, Xu Shangtian, Zhao Yun, Li Zhenfan (Bruce Lee), Liang Ting, etc. They all followed his legacy and developed Wing Chun to all corners of the world. Therefore, after Master Ye's death, he was hailed as a great master. Below is an introduction to Ip Man Wing Chun that I have compiled just for you.
Ip Man’s historical origin of Wing Chun
Wing Chun is one of the martial arts directly passed down from Shaolin. The word Wing Chun is to commemorate the founder of Wing Chun, Master Yim Wing Chun. The founder, Yan Yongchun, was originally from Fujian, Guangdong. His father, Yan Ergong, ran a tofu business at the foot of Jiulian Mountain. Wing Chun has been practicing skills with five masters since childhood. Later, he realized the art of boxing after seeing snakes and cranes fighting each other, and received corrections from his master, the Five Masters, thus achieving great success in martial arts. The Wing Chun master also asked the five masters to name the fist. The master replied that since you are named Wing Chun, you can name this fist Wing Chun. Thus, the name Wing Chun was officially born. Yan Wing Chun later married Liang Bo Tao. Later, he returned to Guangdong with his husband and passed on his martial arts skills to Bo Qiu, so his husband got all the Wing Chun transmission. This is the second biography of Wing Chun, written in the late Jiaqing year. Because Liang Botao was friendly with the people in the Red Boat, he often drank and discussed skills with his friends Liang Langui, Huang Huabao and Liang Erdi. Liang Botao even exchanged Wing Chun with Huabao and others for the famous skill of the Red Boat, the six-and-a-half stick. Later, he and Hua Bao and others drifted on the red boat. During this period, they studied day and night and practiced painstakingly. In less than two years, they had mastered the secrets. Leung Lan Kwai, Wong Wah Po and Leung Er Di can be called the third generation of Wing Chun school. The Shaolin six-and-a-half-point stick is the beginning of the compulsory weapon training for Wing Chun practitioners.
Huang Huabao retired after he was sixty years old and lived in Qingyun Street, Kuaizi City, Foshan. Liang Zan, a famous doctor in Kuaizi City, practiced medicine in Xingji Hall. He was quite famous and was called Mr. Zan by people in Foshan. However, Huang Huabao was friendly with Mr. Zan, and he had a lot of free time after his retirement. He even went to Xingji Hall to have a drink with Mr. Zan and discuss skills, and passed down the Wing Chun skills to Mr. Zan. This was during the Daoguang period of the Xunqing Dynasty.
Liang Zan was originally from Gulao, Shan County, but had lived in Foshan for a long time. Mr. Zan has superb medical skills and runs the herbal medicine shop Xingjitang on Qingyun Street in Kuaizi City. He has a wide network of contacts and is very popular with friends. Mr. Zan was good at martial arts and had a wide range of knowledge, but he was not satisfied. After learning Wing Chun with Hua Bao, he felt that Wing Chun was a superior method in terms of force, body shape and techniques. His talent and hard work made Wing Chun famous in the Lingnan area during the late Qing Dynasty. However, Mr. Zan was unable to teach many disciples due to his busy schedule in the store, so Wing Chun did not flourish for a while. But apart from his two sons Liang Chun and Liang Bi, the only person who can obtain his true successor is Chen Huashun.
Chen Huashun was originally an official from Chencun, Shunde. He also lived in Foshan and made a career of finding money. Because of Hua Gong's money-making business, he often passed through Xingji Hall, so he was destined to be his teacher, Mr. Zan. After mastering the technique, Mr. Zan became more famous for his skills and became famous for the price of pork. Later, Mr. Chan passed away, and Hua Gong set up a hall on Lotus Street to officially teach Wing Chun. However, the method of teaching Wing Chun is different from the general Shaolin boxing, because it requires long-term practice of the hands, and the best practice of the hands needs to be taught by individuals, so there is no room for many teachers, so Hua Gong charges quite a lot. , then ordinary people could not afford official positions, but those who could become scholars were mostly young masters of noble families. At that time, they were known as "Young Master Boxing". Therefore, it was not widely circulated during the Hua Gong period.
Those who can master Chen Huashun's skills include Wu Zhongsu, He Hanlu, Lei Ruji, Ip Man and his son Chen Rujin. But the person who can promote Wing Chun as a whole school is Ip Man. Ip Man was originally the son of a prominent family in Foshan. Due to his young age and frailty, he joined Chen Hua Shun to learn Wing Chun at the age of seven. Hua Gong, because of his extraordinary intelligence and diligence, often taught him himself, while Wu Zhongsu assisted. He often worked with Ip Man and taught him the secrets of Wing Chun one by one. As a result, Ip Man's martial arts improved greatly. Unfortunately, Mr. Hua fell ill and could not afford it. When he was dying, he asked Wu Zhongsu to continue teaching Ip Man and his son Ru Jin. Ip Man trained hard with Wu Zhongsu for three years and made greater progress than before, when he was only fifteen years old. The following year, Ip Man was ordered by his father to come to Hong Kong to study at St. Stephen's School. During this period, he was introduced by his classmates to Liang Bi, the son of Mr. Liang Zan, and practiced Wing Chun with Liang Bi. He learned all he had learned and his skills became even better. With great progress, the temperament also becomes modest and gentle. Three years later, Ip Man returned to Foshan and got to know Foshan's boxing giants extensively. He also helped Wen Daniu in the martial arts competition, which caused a sensation in Foshan. After the Restoration, he joined the military and political circles and performed very well in politics, such as Po Shatang. He was famous for his bravery in capturing the opera robber Luo Zao at the Sanpin Building on Gongzheng Road. After 1949, Ip Man left Foshan and fled to Hong Kong. Ip Man first arrived in Hong Kong and his life was not stable. Fortunately, his friend Li Minxing introduced him to teach Wing Chun at the Hong Kong and Kowloon Hotel Staff Association on Tai Nan Street, Sham Shui Po, Kowloon. , and also began Ip Man’s career of teaching boxing. At that time, his disciples included Liang Xiang, Luo Yao, Xu Shangtian, Zhao Yun, Lu Wenjin... and others. Later, they worked in Haitan Street, Lida Street, Li Zhengwu, Dawang Temple in East Avenue, Xingye Building on Castle Peak Road, etc. Taught apprentices in many places.
Starting from Liang Boyuan, Liang Langui and Huang Huabao did not have the habit of setting up martial arts schools. Liang Zan taught in the medical clinic, Chen Huashun taught boxing in Kongwatian, and Wu Zhongsu taught Wing Chun in the club. When Ip Man was teaching in Hong Kong, he never put up a sign. Ip Man once said that this is to follow the teachings and this set of boxing should not be made public.
Over the past twenty years, Ip Man's improvement and promotion of Wing Chun has enabled the Wing Chun school to flourish in Hong Kong, Taiwan and around the world.
In his later years, Grandmaster Ip Man’s greatest wish was to gather fellow organizations to establish a federation to promote Wing Chun. In the late 1960s, the Wing Chun Sports Association (now the Wing Chun Leung Ting Boxing Gymnasium) was established on Nathan Road, and later moved to its own site at the Mong Kok Water Channel; it was officially registered in 1974. Mr. Ip Man's last disciple (disciple) Liang Ting in his later years developed it to European and American countries in the 1970s and 1980s, making it a world-famous boxing technique.

The main characteristics of Ip Man’s Wing Chun
The famous martial arts star Bruce Lee once studied Wing Chun systematically with Ip Man Chunquan, it can be said that Jeet Kune Do founded by Bruce Lee has an inseparable relationship with Wing Chun. Ip Man Wing Chun is a very scientific and artificial boxing technique. His strength lies in burying himself in fighting. It has fast punches and tight defense, flexible horse steps and fast up and down, both offense and defense and at the same time, focusing on both hardness and softness, and consuming less energy.
Ip Man Wing Chun's theories, mental methods, techniques, etc. have created three fist techniques such as Xiao Niu, Xunqiao and Index Finger, and the wooden man Chun technique. It is also combined with sticky hand exercises to train the opponent's bridge hand's feeling and reaction after double catching. Wing Chun uses a method called "inch strength" to attack and defend. In terms of theory and mental techniques, we focus on the center line, burying the enemy, chasing the enemy face to face, taking both left and right sides into account, staying and sending back, rushing straight away, etc., to attack and defend in the shortest distance and time.
(1) Theory and mentality:
(1) Center line theory: The center line is the line from the top of the human body to the tail keel (tail keel). If you connect the center lines between the enemy and ourselves, it will form a center line plane. If we cooperate (chasing the shape facing the face), we will be absolutely advantageous in terms of offense and defense. In terms of offense, we cooperate along the center line (chasing face to face) to attack the enemy's center line, which is the shortest distance between the enemy and ourselves; of the same fist speed, the one with a closer fist will hit faster. Furthermore, if we ask the enemy to attack from the left or right, it will be easy for the opponent to take away our power. But if we attack the enemy's center line, it will be difficult for the opponent to unload his force, and the force will be heavier. In terms of defense, we guard the center line, cooperate (chasing the shape facing the face) and use the water-dividing method along the center line plane to eliminate it. This is also the shortest path of the elimination method.
(2) Facing the opponent: The person who is facing the opponent is called "chaofian". If we cannot "face" (for example, the opponent is facing in another direction) and our face follows the opponent's center line along the center line plane, it is called "chasing the shape."
When facing the enemy in Wing Chun, face the enemy head-on as much as possible. No matter which direction the enemy moves around me, we must face the enemy. The benefits are as follows:
①Defensively: Simplify the direction in which the enemy attacks us. Because of the frontal attack, the enemy's attack on us is limited to nine directions. The nine paths are upper left, middle left, lower left, upper middle, middle middle, lower middle, upper right, middle right, and lower right. Therefore, it is easier for us to predict the enemy's approach.
② Offensive: With the center line theory, it is easier for us to hit the target and the enemy will be heavier.
③ The shot is fast and the shadow is small: both hands can reach the enemy at the same time, so there is no need to turn the arms when taking action, so the shadow (premonition) of the shot will be very small, and it is easy for the left and right hands to take care of each other.
(3) Zheng Zheng Theory: Most of Wing Chun's shots or defenses are made with the Zheng close to the midline plane. The benefits are as follows:
① Clever aspect: You can grab the center line to achieve the shortest distance and the heaviest attack.
②Defensive aspect: On the one hand, Zheng protects some important parts of the body, and on the other hand, he defends the center line to achieve the shortest distance defense.
(4) Collection theory: After a Wing Chun shot (whether offensive or defensive), the hands and arms no longer accumulate force, and the flexion of the wrist is for collection. This will not only help us to attack again immediately with the same hands, but also make it difficult for the enemy to take our joints and defend our position more closely in terms of defense.
(5) "Come, stay, go and send" mentality: "Come and stay" refers to the opponent's attack on me. In addition to eliminating it, we'd better keep it as much as possible so as to use Wing Chun Bridge. The feeling of hand-to-hand control controls it. For "sending", when the enemy attacks us with force, we use tactics to change the direction of the attack so that its attack cannot hit us. If possible, we should add more force and follow the attack in the changed direction. Go, causing the enemy to lose power or use old tricks.
(6) "Throw away hands and rush forward" mentality: "Throw away hands" is when the other party suddenly removes the bridge hand connecting with me (no matter in any direction). Whenever the opponent "throws away", we should rush out and attack the enemy directly to "charge directly". The mental techniques of "come, stay, and send" and "throw away your hands and rush forward" are developed from sticky hands exercises.
(7) Simultaneous defense and attack: When we cancel the opponent's attack, we should attack the opponent at the same time within the possible scope. This will change from passive to proactive and achieve preemptive attack.
(8) Other auxiliary mental methods:
① No need to "cross the cage": Wing Chun's elimination of hands is based on the principle of being able to eliminate the opponent's moves without exceeding the range required for defense. If the opponent's attack is impossible to hit us, we don't need to use any elimination method. No need to "pass the cage" can reduce the consumption of energy and time. It will be faster to counterattack the enemy after it is eliminated.
② Not "chasing the hand": Those who "chasing the hand" leave the required range of defense to chase and contact the opponent's bridge hand. Wing Chun is about the feeling and reaction after the bridge hand meets. Therefore, beginners of Wing Chun can easily make the mistake of "chasing the hand" subconsciously. If the enemy bridge player is not within our defensive range, we should not chase and contact other bridge players. Instead, we should take the opportunity to attack the enemy in order to defeat the enemy. If the opponent uses the bridge hand to neutralize our attack, we will achieve the purpose of contacting the opponent's bridge hand; this is one of the methods of "finding the bridge".
③Do not "rush": Wing Chun's shots (attack or defense), horse steps, and changes must be based on the principle of maintaining the center of gravity. Try to minimize the chance of being "lost" by the other party. Those who are "out of shape" lose their center of gravity and cannot maintain balance against the enemy.
④ No need to rely on position to exert force: The "attack" and "defense" of Wing Chun are based on the principle that the force can be exerted from any position. In other words, no matter where the hand is, it can be used to exert force without worrying about blocking the opponent's hand or attacking the opponent without having to withdraw the hand or raise it to a certain position to help exert force. (2) "Cun Jin" is the force used in Wing Chun for offense and defense. It is also called "Bounce Jin" or "Short Jin": it is short and explosive and can be used within a short distance (about two inches). Emit lethal force to hit the enemy. "Cun Jin" has been developed since childhood, and is practiced through empty punching and sandbag punching.
(3) Sticky Hands Exercise: Its purpose is:
(1) Exercise the feeling and reaction after contact with the enemy bridge hand.
(2) Practice creating and finding gaps for the enemy.
(3) Exercise your hands to balance left and right and multi-purpose.
(4) Practice Wing Chun mental techniques such as "come, stay, and send", "throw your hands and charge forward", "no need to cross the cage", "no chasing hands", etc.
(5) Practice offensive and defensive techniques and combinations.
(6) Practice the coordination of techniques and horse steps.
The person who senses it is when the two sides connect, whether there are any flaws and gaps in the opponent's strength, the direction and change of the opponent's strength, and whether there are any flaws in the opponent's attack and defense, etc. experience. Wing Chun places special emphasis on feeling and reaction. It is believed that the reaction after absorption with the eyes is slower than the reaction after the bridge is connected with the hands. Because what you see with your eyes must be transmitted to the brain through nerve lines, and then the brain will issue commands to respond appropriately. However, the sensory response of bridge hand contact is sent through the spinal nerves via a shortcut, so the response is faster. After proper training, the feeling and reaction of bridge hand contact will be achieved.
Anecdotes related to Ip Man Wing Chun
It is said that before Ip Man passed away in Hong Kong, he left a message to his disciples that he would continue to learn authentic Wing Chun in the future. Go to Foshan Xia Jiao to find Guo Fu. Aaron Kwok, who emphasized that when learning martial arts, you should never strive for the first place, was a low-key person. He retired from the world for more than 30 years and worked as an ordinary employee in the former Guangzhou Nanfang Building. He was known as "Second Uncle" and was one of Ip Man's first apprentices.
He was a humble man, and his disciples all called him Uncle Wen
In the 1930s, learning Wing Chun was only done by wealthy disciples. At that time, Aaron Kwok was a poor man, living alone. Pingzhou went to work in a candy noodle shop on Yong'an Road, Foshan. Guo Fu said that there was a flower gauze shop called "Lian Chan" opposite the sugar noodle shop. He found that many people came in and out every night. He secretly looked in through the door of the flower gauze shop and saw that it was A group of young people are learning boxing. After inquiring, Aaron Kwok learned that it was a local wealthy man named Zhou who asked Ip Man to teach Wing Chun. Aaron Kwok, who has been fond of boxing since childhood, asked someone to find "Uncle Wen" to become his apprentice the next day, but Ip Man refused. After a protracted battle that lasted for half a year, Aaron Kwok was finally moved by this sincere young man. Guo Fu was very excited and happily saluted and called Master, but Ip Man said seriously, never call him Master. Later, the senior brothers told Guo Fu that Ip Man was a very humble man and did not like his disciples to call him master. The disciples all called their master Ip Man "Uncle Wen".
Diligence and studiousness, master’s boxing skills are given to him
Aaron Kwok said that in the past, his master would have some reservations about teaching kung fu to his disciples. Ip Man learned martial arts from Chen Hua Shun when he was 7 years old, and was Chen Hua Shun’s disciple. disciple. Ip Man is very perceptive, diligent and good at thinking. Chen Ji likes this disciple. At that time, Chen Huashun's son was an unsatisfactory second generation ancestor. He once stole his father's medicine books and martial arts books hidden under the pillow box and went to the pawn shop to exchange them for sixty taels of silver. When Chen Huashun found out, he was very angry. After redeeming the books, he immediately gave them away. Gave it to Ip Man. Six years later, when Chen was dying, he asked his disciple Wu Zhongsu to continue teaching Ip Man. Wu Zhongsu was a generous man. He was entrusted by his master and devoted himself to his junior brother Ip Man. Kwok Fu said that Ip Man not only received the martial arts from Professor Chen Huashun, but also learned the martial arts from Wu Zhongsu. In addition, after arriving in Hong Kong, the smart Ip Man also learned the martial arts from Liang Bi, the son of his master Liang Zan.
Aaron Kwok said that Ip Man emphasized the practicality of moves. If you don't "discuss your skills", you won't know the pros and cons of the kung fu you practice. Ip Man believes that kung fu is ultimately achieved by playing, not practicing. Only in the hands of masters can one constantly improve and strengthen himself. After studying with his senior brother Wu Zhongsu for a period of time, Ip Man was sent to Hong Kong by his parents to study. By chance, he met Liang Bi, the son of Liang Zan, who was doing business in Hong Kong. Ye Wen went to Liang Bi every day to "talk things over".
Ip Man used his "special skills" that he thought were extremely difficult to remove from others, but as soon as he came into contact with them, he would be gently guided by them. The most unconvincing thing was that he could not even see the movements of their hands and feet, so he would throw them at them inexplicably. It has to be far away. Guo Fu said that after Ip Man competed with Liang Bi for five or six days, he really couldn't figure out what was going on, so he stopped asking Liang Bi to "talk about skills". Instead, Liang Bi saw Ip Man no longer coming to test his martial arts, so he came to see him. I went there and saw Ye Wen practicing martial arts by himself, imitating the situation during a martial arts competition. Liang Bi liked his studious and smart nephew very much, so he taught Ip Man the martial arts he had learned with his father Liang Zan.
Value talents and teach in person
Ip Man attaches great importance to the selection of talents. He often said: "It is difficult for an apprentice to choose a good master, but it is difficult for a master to choose a good apprentice." , even more difficult. In 1945, due to the war, the sugar noodle shop where Guo Fu worked was forced to close down. He then lost his job and had to return to the countryside, but his master was not in Foshan, so he left without saying goodbye. When he was a professor in 2000, Ip Man fell in love with the diligent and studious Guo Fu. Later, he found out why Guo Fu was missing, so he went to Guo Fu's countryside, Pingzhou Xia Jiao, to find him. Guo Fu said that he really didn't expect "Uncle Wen" to come. He was looking for a poor guy. So in Guo Fu's ancestral home, Ip Man practiced boxing with Guo Fu and taught Guo Fu step by step. At this time, Guo Fu discovered that the boxing taught by his master was something he had never learned in Foshan. Suspecting that Liang Bi taught these skills, he did not dare to ask, so he practiced martial arts more diligently. In the next two years, Ip Man often walked dozens of miles to Xia Jiao to continue to teach him Wing Chun skills. He asked Aaron Kwok to copy and record all his boxing manuals and medicine books. Aaron Kwok also said that Wing Chun is a practical, simple, direct and practical Kung Fu. In the past, martial arts movies often had stories of apprentices stealing from their masters. , this is basically impossible. Although the master copied the boxing rules to him during those two years, it was difficult for the professor to understand the connotation of each movement without the master's explanation. "Second Uncle" Guo Fu had smooth skin and good spirits. , the sword is not old yet, and he can perform hard kung fu.
He is open-minded and allows him to learn martial arts from other schools.
Guo Fu said that among the many apprentices of Ip Man, he is the fifth disciple. Bruce Lee is the most famous, but he himself has never met Bruce Lee. Around 1956, Lee became a student of Ip Man at the Lee Tat Street Martial Arts School. After learning all the boxing techniques in succession, Bruce Lee once visited Master Yip in person, hoping to learn the wooden dummy techniques of Wing Chun, and offered to pay Master Yip to demonstrate all the wooden dummy techniques of Wing Chun in person. , Li filmed it and brought it back to the United States to study on his own, but was rejected by Ip Man. He only wanted scholars to be dedicated to learning skills, and he would do his best to teach them.
Ip Man is a genius. A very tolerant person, he was not like some instructors who forbade his disciples to learn or practice the indexes of other sects, and considered this to be deviant and rebellious. Looking at Bruce Lee's first moves, Ip Man knew that he had learned from his uncle in the entertainment industry. Kung Fu. Ip Man thinks this is not a bad thing, because although the artist's moves are performed for people to see, they are evolved from martial arts schools and still have merits.
Ip Man Wing Chun. The main successor of Wing Chun has only been a handful of successors for a long time. However, after Ip Man taught his skills in Hong Kong for more than 20 years, the situation changed in the 1960s when Bruce Lee went to the United States to develop and establish "Wing Chun". "Zhen Fan Guoshu Museum" gradually became famous and spread Wing Chun to countries all over the world through movies. After Ip Man passed away in 1972, his sons Ye Chun and Ye Zheng inherited their father's business and devoted themselves to promoting Wing Chun overseas. Ye Chun performed Wing Chun in Hong Kong The Spring Sports Festival, Shatin Town Hall, City University of Hong Kong, University of Science and Technology, and Foshan University of Science and Technology set up apprenticeships. Currently, Ye Chun and his disciples have organized nearly 3,000 Wing Chun clubs in more than 60 countries around the world. Ye Zhun also received an award from the United States Olympic Committee for his outstanding contributions to the promotion of martial arts around the world. "Second Uncle" Guo Fu has taught more than 40 apprentices since his retirement in 1979. Liang Ting, a disciple of Ip Man in Hong Kong, spreads Wing Chun by running magazines, publishing books, performing in public, training boxers to accept challenges, and making movies. Liang Ting founded the International Wing Chun Federation in 1973. It has established institutions in more than 60 countries with more than 400 branches.
Bruce Lee
His body was thin in his early years. In order to strengthen his son’s body, his father Li Haiquan taught him Tai Chi when he was 7 years old. Bruce Lee studied Wing Chun systematically under the famous Wing Chun master Ip Man when he was 13 years old. Wing Chun is fierce and vigorous, and its emphasis on quick combat has the same delicious characteristics as Kwon Do. In addition, he also practiced Hong Quan, White Crane Quan, Shaolin Quan, Tan Kou and other boxing styles, which laid a solid foundation for his later creation of Jeet Kune Do. In order to improve his martial arts level, Bruce Lee not only studied Chinese boxing, but also studied Western boxing, karate, taekwondo and other foreign fighting techniques. It can be said that Jeet Kune Do is a new form of striking technique that combines the advantages of different countries and schools. Due to Bruce Lee's outstanding contributions in martial arts and movies, he was twice named one of the world's top seven martial artists by the authoritative international martial arts magazine "Black Belt" in 1972 and 1973. In 1972, he was also named one of the top ten stars in Hong Kong. American newspapers and magazines hailed him as the "King of Kung Fu", the Japanese called him the "Saint of Martial Arts", and Hong Kong newspapers praised him as "a wizard in the history of contemporary Chinese martial arts and film".
A variety of magazines and special issues commemorating Bruce Lee were simultaneously published in the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other countries or regions, and they all called him "the most effective person in promoting Chinese martial arts." Bruce Lee was versatile, both literary and martial arts. . Whenever he is not practicing, he immerses himself in studying martial arts theories and training methods. Before his death, he left behind seven volumes of martial arts notes and six book manuscripts: "Jet Kune Do", "Jet Kune Do Research", "Kung Fu Records", "Two-Jiegu Gun Technique", and "Bruce Lee Boxing Illustration" ( English version) and "Bruce Lee Martial Arts Techniques" (English version). Martial arts magazines around the world are still studying and introducing his martial arts, and martial arts enthusiasts around the world still admire him. Liang Ting
Many people believe that it was Bruce Lee who made Wing Chun martial arts famous internationally. However, it was Liang Ting, Bruce Lee’s fellow disciple, who really made this exquisite martial art famous in the world. He opened more than 4,000 Wing Chun martial arts studios in 64 countries around the world and had more than 1 million disciples, including many in Europe. The country’s chief special police coach and many world boxing champions! In the early 1960s, 13-year-old Liang Ting went to the Wing Chun Martial Arts School to learn martial arts. He is obsessed with martial arts, playing sandbags, wooden tungeons, and free fighting, rain or shine. In 1968, Liang Ting was admitted to the Foreign Languages ??Department of Hong Kong Baptist College. At that time, most people were prejudiced against national martial arts, thinking that it was a fighting technique used by ordinary people and could not be refined. However, Liang Ting relied on the hard work of a newborn and was not afraid of tigers. After many twists and turns, he founded a Baptist Wing Chun class at Baptist University and became the first person to bring Chinese martial arts to tertiary colleges. Becoming a disciple of Ip Man made Liang Ting's martial arts reach a higher level. Ip Man is the master of Wing Chun and Bruce Lee's master. Ip Man was very happy with Liang Ting, a closed disciple, and taught him all his profound moves. He also gave Liang Ting the management of the boxing class of the Hong Kong Wing Chun Sports Association, which he had worked hard for many years. Liang Ting lived up to his mentor's trust and made Wing Chun known to women and children through public performances, television performances, interviews with the media, and sending disciples to competitions. As a result, the reputation of the Wing Chun Sports Association has grown. In 1970, Liang Ting resigned as the head coach of the Wing Chun Sports Association's boxing class and established the Wing Chun Liang Ting Boxing Gym, with the mission of spreading Wing Chun martial arts. In 1976, he planned a new 24-episode TV series "Real Kung Fu" for Hong Kong Lai's Television (the predecessor of Hong Kong Asia Television) and made a guest appearance. Beginning in 1977, he made the legendary transition from the television industry to the film industry, serving as the martial arts instructor of the great director Zhang Che, and filmed "The Chinatown Kid", "Southern and Northern Shaolin", "Five Poisons", "Heaven and Hell" ", "Ten Tigers of Guangdong" and many other movies.
