The legacy of Ving Tsun Kungfu System

IP man popularizes Ving Tsun to the point that the world wanted to learn even the worst forms of this Kungfu. IP Man is the only disciple of Leung Bik, Leung Jan’s son. Leung Jan was a well known herbal doctor in Fat Shan who grasped the inner most secrets of Ving Tsun and attained the highest level of proficiency. Leung Jan had 3 disciples; Leung Chun, Leung Bik and Chan Wa Shun. Chan Wa Shun was IP Man’s officially first si-fu. IP Man met Leung Bik when he was in Hong Kong for high school.

The founder of the Ving Tsun Kungfu System is Miss Yim Ving Tsun who was a native of Canton China. As a beautiful young woman who was betrothed to Leung Bok Chau, she attracted the attention of a local bully who tried forcing her to marry him. Buddhist Abbess Ng Mui who escaped the attack of Manchu government at their Monastery was kind to teach Ving Tsun some fighting techniques so that she can protect herself. After a period of training in the mountains, she mastered the techniques, challenged and beat the local bully. Ng Mui went off to travel around the country but insisted Ving Tsun to strictly honour the kungfu traditions and to develop her kungfu after her marriage with Leung Bok Chau. She was also tasked to help the people working to overthrow the Manchu government and restore the Ming Dynasty. Subsequently, Ving Tsun was passed to another and eventually reach Bruce Lee and other famous disciples.

Without IP Man, Ving Tsun will be lost today. IP Man once said,”I am eternally grateful to our Kungfu ancestors and teachers. We will always remember and appreciate our roots, and this share feeling will always keep our Kungfu brothers close together.” This is also why he is organizing this Ving Tsun Fellowship and hope his Kungfu brothers will support him in this. He further emphasized that this is very important in the promotion of Kungfu.
