作者概況: Ron Heimberger
Master Ron Heimberger is a direct disciple of Grandmaster Ip Ching (younger son of Grandmaster Ip Man) along with Eric Li, Heimberger directs the Ving Tsun Ip Ching Athletic Association. Anyone wishing to become a certified instructor or member may write directly to Master Heimbergr at 545 E. Tabernacle, Saint George Ut. or phone 435-688-7133.

Master Ron Heimberger:
Knowing that Leung Bik received the entire Wing Chun system from his father Leung Jan, what type of relationship did Ip Man have with Leung Bik?

Grandmaster Ip Ching:
Ip Man lived with Leung Bik for five years and learned the entire system of Wing Chun. Through out his life, Ip Man referred to Leung Bik as Si Pak. Even though both of his kung fu teachers had the same kung fu, they both had different teaching styles. Chan Wa Shun was a relatively uneducated man whose metaphors and understanding were more grounded in the earth, in the common man's language. On the other hand, Leung Bik was very educated and his metaphors and understanding were shaped by philosophy. His understanding of the principles of Wing Chun was deeper and more refined than his kung fu younger brother Chan Wa Shun. When Leung Bik died, Ip Man returned to Fatshan to help his kung fu brothers with the knowledge he had gained in Hong Kong.

Master Ron Heimberger:
In 1942, Ip Man moved back to Hong Kong to avoid the communist rule in the mainland. After many years of teaching and struggling, Ip Man brought his Wing Chun to the fore and gave the public a tremendous gift. As his son, how would you define Ip Man’s legacy?

Gandmaster Ip Ching:
The gift that Ip Man left was a legacy of virtue and honor that is all too vacant in much of today's martial arts scene. Ip Man was born in China in 1893 and began his Wing Chun training around 1903. He was literally the link between the old ways and the new ways. He was the bridge that integrated the old ways of honor and virtue with a public martial art. Without Ip Man, Wing Chun would be lost today. Not only did Ip Man popularize Wing Chun to the point that the entire world wants to learn even the worst forms of it, but he was the only disciple to ever learn from Grandmaster Leung Jan's son, Leung Bik. If you’ll recall, Leung Jan only taught 3 people his two sons (Leung Chun and Leung Bik) and Chan Wa Shun. Leung Chun never taught anyone. Leung Bik only taught Ip Man. And Chan Wa Shun taught Ip Man and a handful of others. Ip Man learned the entire system intimately. Because of his Leung Bik lineage, he could have claimed the title of Grandmaster of Wing Chun. But he did not. Ip Man was tutored in martial virtue. He considered his first teacher his Sifu, even though he learned more from his later teacher, Leung Bik. In doing so, he honored his kung fu brothers, his teachers , and Wing Chun. Ip man understood the role of tradition and honor in Wing Chun.
