Master Ron Heimberger:
At what point did Chan Wa Shun begin teaching your father, Ip Man?

Grandmaster Ip Ching:
Only after Leung Jan died did Chan Wa Shun open his own kung fu school in the Ip clan family building at Fatshan. The Ip family building was a hall where plaques were hung to remember the ancestors of their family. It was in the family hall that my father, Ip Man, first saw Wing Chun kung fu. When he was 12 years old, Ip Man went to Chan Wa Shun and asked if Chan Wa Shun would teach him Wing Chun. Chan Wa Sheun told him that people who were rich and came from comfortable surroundings made poor students of Wing Chun. But because he was teaching at the Ip family building, Chan Wa Shun could not simply refuse Ip Man's request. So he reluctantly said okay. However, he required my father to pay 600 silver pieces to become a student. 600 silver pieces was enough money to buy several houses. Chan Wa Shun knew that such an amount would be almost impossible for a 12 year old boy to raise and felt that this would softly discourage him. It took my father 6 months to raise the money. Chan Wa Shun was shocked. Chun Wa Shun suspected the 12 year old Ip Man of stealing the money. Chan Wa Shun immediately took Ip Man to see his father. My grandfather explained that he had given the boy the money so he could study kung fu from Chan Wa Shun. From this time forward Ip Man became an official student of Chan Wa Shun. All together, Chan Wa Shun only taught 16 people. The Dei Si Hing was Ng Cheung So and Si Dei or lowest brother was Ip Man. Ip Man learned directly from Chan Wa Shun for three years before Chan passed away. (Even though many people had heard of Leung Jan's kung fu, only three people had actually learned it.).

Master Ron Heimberger:
At what point did Ip Man move to Hong Kong and how did he meet Leung Bik?

Grandmaster Ip Ching:
Ip Man went to Hong Kong at the age of 17 to attend High School at Saint Francis College. At the time the British, who ruled Hong Kong, were using Indian and Pakistani police officers in Hong Kong. The policemen were not very supportive of the Chinese people and were often quite cruel. One day, on the way to school, Ip Man and a classmate came across an Indian police officer who was beating a Chinese lady. Both kids told the officer that if this lady was a thief or if she had done something wrong then the policeman had every right to take her into custody. But even if she was a thief, he had no right to beat her. In actuality, she had done nothing wrong. The police officer was just being cruel. And the officer, realizing that Ip Man was just a kid, took a swing at Ip Man. Unfortunately for the police officer, Ip Man had four years of kung fu under his belt. Ip Man responded to the police officers attack with what appeared to his classmate to be a very simple move, but the police officer went down with blood all over his face. Ip Man and his classmate ran very quickly to school.

Ip Man's classmate told an older man who lived in the same building about what had happened that day. The old gentleman, who was also from Fatshan, asked the young man to show him what Ip Man had done. When he saw what the young man showed him, the old man asked Ip Man's classmate to ask Ip Man to come and see him.

The next day both Ip Man and his friend went to see the older gentleman. The older gentleman asked Ip Man what type of kung fu he had studied in Fatshan. Ip man replied that it was the best type of kung fu in the world and that if he told him the old man wouldn't understand. After a little cajoling, Ip Man relented and told the old man that he had studied a famous kung fu called Wing Chun. The older gentleman replied that he had heard of it and that there was a person named Chan Wa Sheun teaching there. The old gentleman asked Ip Man to show him the Siu Lim Tao form. After the demonstration the old man said, "eh, not too great." This did not make Ip Man very happy because he felt that he was doing the best kung fu in the world.

Then the old gentleman asked Ip Man to perform his Chum Kiu form. One must remember that at this time the respect between young people and older people was greater than it is now. Ip Man was obviously unhappy with the old gentleman’s request, but he complied anyway. During his demonstration, the old man kept shaking his head and saying, "not very good." This made Ip Man very, very unhappy. At this point the old man asked Ip Man to demonstrate the Biu Gee form. Not wanting the old man to know he didn’t know the Biu Gee form, Ip Man said, "I really don't feel like showing you the form." Then the old man asked if Ip Man would chi sau with him. Ip Man happily complied, thinking that he could finally teach the old man a lesson. Ip Man threw a punch. The old man simply blocked it and threw him to the side. Ip Man got up and attempted to heal his wounded pride with another punch. Once again the old man just blocked him and threw him aside. Ip Man got up and stormed out.

The next day Ip Man's friend told him that the old gentleman wanted to see him but Ip Man didn't want anything to do with him and told his friend no. The friend reported Ip Man's response to the old gentleman. The old gentleman told the teenage boy to let Ip Man know that he was Leung Bik. The next day in class Ip Man's friend told him the old gentleman was Leung Bik. Right there, before class was over, Ip Man jumped up and went straight to Leung Bik's home. Ip Man was so excited because Leung Bik was Ip Man's Si Pak (older uncle, the youngest son of his teacher's teacher, Leung Jan).
