Yip Man Grandmaster William Cheungs Global Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Association. At the time of his death in December 1. Yip Man could not have imagined that his name would be remembered among those of the most distinguished international grandmasters in the annals of martial arts history Dr. Jigoro Kano, Gichin Funakoshi, Moriehi Uyeshiba. Yip Mans name belongs on that list of immortals. As the rightful patriarch of the Wing Chun style of kung fu, he succeeded in spreading his obscure but dynamic fighting art first throughout the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong and then throughout the world. His teaching has become a cornerstone of the modern martial arts era. The bare boned efficiency of his fighting techniques, coupled with the knowledge that he was Bruce Lees instructor, caused millions to regard his art with awed curiosity. Wing Chun means magic to them. Throughout the world, wherever instruction is not readily available, martial artists have at least attempted to imitate the subtleties of the arts sticking and trapping techniques. Today Wing Chun is the most influential martial art to emerge from 2. China. Unfortunately, the art did not achieve international acclaim during Yips lifetime, so he did not foresee the need publicly to name an heir to his role as leader of the Wing Chun clan. He still held and transmitted much of his art through vows of secrecy. Now that more than two decades have passed since his demise, many glory seekers will invent intricate tales, misrepresent Yip photographs, and literally fight for the right to become known as his personal disciple and heir. Dozens of second and even third generation practitioners have advanced such counterfeit claims. Yip Man did not begin teaching until after his 5. Yip Man was born in October 1.

As is still the custom, businesses and corporations in China were often built around family groupings of fathers, sons, sons in law, cousins, uncles, granduncles and grandfathers. The Yip family was no exception. Collectively, they owned a large farm and a merchandise exporting business which played an important role in bringing domestic renown to fabrics made from the Fatshan silkworm. The Yip family lived in some 2. Chinese estates which lined both sides of Happiness and Scholarship Avenue. On one side of the avenue, in the centre of the estates, stood the Yip ancestral temple. Inside the temple, the Yip family permitted Wing Chun master Chan Wah Shun to live and teach a small group of disciples, since Chans local reputation as a fighter discouraged thieves and highwaymen from attacking the family business. As a boy Yip Man was tutored in the traditional Chinese classics. He was forced to memorize ancient poems and Confucian philosophy, to learn to paint as well as to write his own poems. But whenever he could escape from the surveillant eyes of his tutors, he would wander over to the ancestral temple and watch Chan Wah Shun drill his disciples in the ways of Wing Chun. Soon the boys visits became more regular until, finally, when Yip was about nine years old he approached Chan and asked to be accepted as a student. Chan did not take the boys request seriously. Chan Wah Shun was about 6. William Cheung, one of Yip Mans oldest and most devoted disciples, and most of his students were already over 3. Besides, many wealthy families of the day did not want their sons attention drawn away from academic pursuits by the practice of kung fu, especially after the Boxer Rebellion fiasco in 1. So to spare the boys feelings, Chan diplomatically told Yip that he would admit him as a student as soon as he could pay the tuition price of three taels of silver. Chan did not think that a nine year old boy, from a wealthy family or not, could produce that much money anytime in the near future.

And Chan Wah Shun accepted him. Yip Man became the last of Chans 1. He also became the youngest in a direct line of Wing Chun practitioners dating back nearly 2. Shaolin Temple in Honan Province. At that time in Chinese history, the Shaolin Temple was a hotbed of revolutionary activity. You see, 4. Manchus took over China, recounts Cheung, about 9. Chinese people considered themselves to be members of the Hon nation. The Manchus, on the other hand, came from the Northern border areas. So in order to prevent the people from overthrowing their government, the Manchus placed a lot of restrictions on the Han. They forced the Han men to shave their foreheads and to wear pigtails so that they could be easily identified. They made the Han women bind their feet so that they became completely dependent on the men. And since the women could not walk very far, the men could not wander off. High positions in the government had to be held only by Manchus, or by Hans who had been made Manchus through a special ceremony. They even limited the number of knives that could be kept in a Han household. Outside of the government imposed restrictions, the Manchus encouraged the populace to continue with business as usual, engaging in all normal forms of cultural endeavour, including monastic pursuits. Buddhist and Taoist monks were permitted to travel and participate in religious rites virtually unencumbered by the new regime. Thus the Shaolin Temple, with its long established tradition of martial arts training, became the obvious sanctuary for dissidents, revolutionaries, and secret societies dedicated to the overthrow of the government. Meanwhile many members of the Han officer corps who survived the collapse of the Ming dynasty re swore their loyalties and aligned themselves with the new Manchu leadership. These professional soldiers were highly skilled in the martial arts and well versed in the fighting tactics of the Shaolin Temple. Whenever they were sent into an area of Shaolin activity to enforce the Manchu will, they quickly put a halt to the Robin Hood operations of rebellious monks. In those days it took at least 1. Shaolin martial artist, describes William Cheung. They had to do ten years of a hard physical style, and then eight years of internal style. During that time they also had to practise swords and spears, and various other kinds of weapons. So for the revolutionaries to train someone in Shaolin to match the skills of the Manchu soldiers, it would take 1. They had to find a solution to this problem. So about 2. 80 years ago, the oldest and most knowledgeable elders of the Shaolin Temple got together and decided to develop a style which would overcome all the other styles, and which would take a much shorter time to learn. Then with that purpose in mind, they met repeatedly and engaged in lengthy discussions. Each elder was the master of his own style. And each master revealed all his secrets.
