“Wing Chun – Ip Man”
This simple line from Donnie Yen as he portrays the great Wing Chun Grandmaster in the series of movies about him for me says it all. The words with the stance show the essence of wing chun kung fu. Simple, understated, nothing flashy, showy or unnecessary yet here I am switched on ready to go. There is so much written and published about Ip Man (Yip Man) that I thought I would start my own tribute page and gather some of the info from the internet here. Please feel fre to make some comment if you want to but please remember this page is about respect for Yip Man – whatever your beliefs or ideas his legacy is clearly remarkable.
This first clip is from You tube by Samuel Kwok via Yip Man’s sons Ip Chun and Ip Ching and shows amazingly clear footage of the forms
