Ip Chun: The Keeper of Wing Chun

Ip Chun was Ip Man's eldest son — not the challenger, not the movie star, but the keeper. Separated from his father for thirteen years, he rejoined him in Hong Kong in 1962, worked days as an accountant and newspaper reporter, trained in the evenings, helped found the Ving Tsun Athletic Association, and taught Wing Chun from 1967 for more than fifty years. When Ip Man died in 1972, he entrusted Ip Chun and his brother with the film footage of his three forms. Ip Chun kept teaching, wrote the dummy techniques down, consulted on the Ip Man films, and turned 100 on July 10, 2024. Hosts: Alex and Jordan.
