Ip Ching (born in Foo Shan, China in 1936) is the second son of Ip Man. At a young age Ip Ching started his training along with his brother Ip Chun, under his father the famous Wing Chun Grandmaster Ip Man.
Ip Man indoor students, learnt from his home in Hong Kong where where Ip Ching lived with his father. As well as learning Wing Chun at his father’s home, Ip Ching also was an avid observer of his father as he taught other students and over time he became his father’s assistant. This arrangement lasted until 1972 when Ip Man died.
Both Sifu Ip Ching and his brother Sifu Ip Chun were taught special versions of Wing Chun by their father - including wooden man and weapons, long and short range to complete all types.
Grand Master Ip Ching - Ip Man’s second Son
After Ip Ching graduated high school, he attended College and later started his own successful textile company.
Sifu Ron Heimburger travelled to many places to find Sifu Ip Ching and became one of the few people, including Sifu Tony, to be accepted for personal training by him.
The time he spent with his father gave him valuable insight on his father’s teaching methods. Ip Ching still lives with his family in his Father’s Hong Kong house today and continues to teach.
Ip Man taught many people Wing Chun, and there was indoor,outdoor and family style. Generally Ip Man taught Siu lim tao and Chum Kiu. Few Indoor students learnt the wooden man and Biu gee. A handful learnt one of the weapons. The Sons completed the Wing Chun Systems.
Ip Man taught his own Sons, and living with Ip Man, could not be a better situation and education.
