Who is the founder of Wing Chun Quan?
Wing Chun Boxing was founded by Ye Wen. Ye Wen, formerly known as Ye Jiwen, was born in Sangyuan, Nanhai, Foshan, Guangdong. 1900 (the 26th year of Guangxu), Ye Wen entered a school in Chen Huashun to learn Wing Chun. After the death of Master, Ip Man practiced hard with his brother Wu for three years. 1908 (in the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu), IP Man was sponsored by his in-laws Pang Weiting to study in Hongkong, China. During this period, he met Liang Bi, the second son of Liang Zan, and studied Wing Chun with him for nearly four years. His martial arts advanced by leaps and bounds because Liang Bi passed on his father's subtlety to Ip Man.

Apprentice in his later years

1953 or so, IP Man taught boxing at Santaizi Temple in Ruzhou Street, Kowloon. 1954 to 1955, IP Man teaches boxing in Kowloon Hotel Trade Union. 1955 to 1957 Ip Man teaches boxing in Lida Street, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon. From 1957 to 1962, Ye Wen taught boxing in Li Zhengcun.

From 1962 to 1963, IP Man was a believer in Xingye Building at 6 1 Tai Po Road. From 1963 to 1965, Ip Man taught boxing in Sheng Da Hotel, Fuquan Street, Tai Kok Tsui, and also taught boxing to China police officers in Yanqing Street, San Po Kong. From 1965 to 1972, IP Man returned to his residence in Cai Tong Street. Due to his advanced age, he only became an individual professor.

1968, IP Man accepted Liang Ting as a "closed disciple". In the following years, he continued to teach Liang Ting what he had learned all his life. 1 972 65438+February1,Master IP Man died at the age of 79.

Main influence

Ye Wen's outstanding disciples, such as Liang Xiang, Zhao Yun, Bruce Lee, Xu Shangtian, Liang Ting, Lu and He Yi, all inherited the master's legacy and further developed Wing Chun Boxing. Therefore, after the death of the master, Wing Chun disciples unanimously praised him as a master of Wing Chun. Ip Man accepted Liang Ting as an apprentice in his later years, handed over the apprentice of Wing Chun Games to Liang Ting to continue as a professor, and entrusted him as the head coach of Wing Chun Games. Later, the WT Wing Chun course developed by Liang Ting has spread all over the world in 65 countries and regions, with more than 4,000 branches and nearly 2 million children.
