In addition to practicing martial arts in his later years, Master Ip Man likes to have tea with his disciples or friends in the teahouse. Occasionally, I play mahjong several times. Zhong, he likes watching cricket fighting best. Sometimes he goes to see dog fighting with his fellow countryman and snake-like Diao Shouliang.
197265438+In February, Ip Man died in Hong Kong at the age of 79. Wing Chun disciples unanimously praised him as a master of Wing Chun School.
Ip Man's greatest wish before his death was to set up a federation to carry forward Wing Chun Boxing. After his death, many of his disciples, as well as his sons Ye Zhun and Ye Zheng, devoted themselves to promoting Wing Chun boxing overseas and opened boxing gymnasiums all over the world. Today, Wing Chun Boxing is not included in the national standard routine, but it ranks second in China Wushu (the first is Tai Ji Chuan) with more than 2 million practitioners all over the world.
Looking back on the life of Yip Man, a great master, he has unique skills, but his personality is different, and he never won by martial arts. His indifference to fame and fortune kept him away from the rivers and lakes, and he died at the age of 79. It also enabled him to devote more energy to martial arts and martial arts teaching, and further develop Wing Chun Quan. Ip Man's low-key handling won him the admiration and respect of his martial arts colleagues.
Ip Man's contribution:
1. Interpretation of Wing Chun Boxing from the Perspective of Geometric Science;
One of IP Man's contributions to Wing Chun Boxing is that he once studied in a Western-style school, and he can often explain Wing Chun Boxing from the perspective of mechanics or geometry. At the same time, he disdains metaphysical words such as five elements, gossip, mutual help and mutual curse, and prefers to explain them in more plain language, which is a purification of kung fu.
In the martial arts world, some people like to use mysterious sayings from high positions, such as "meeting by chance", "being in a foreign land", "ancestral" and "secrets of martial arts". He thinks that this is cheating disciples to sell themselves, and it is a sign that they are not confident in what they have learned and have a superficial understanding of the laws of kung fu.
Second, improve wing chun boxing and wooden stakes:
Ip Man's second contribution to Wing Chun is to improve Wing Chun and wooden stakes. The wooden stake equipment has been improved, and the traditional buried (vertical) wooden stake has been changed into a cross-arm wooden stake, which makes the wooden stake more suitable for the installation of urban apartments, breaking the situation that Wing Chun Boxing is only spread among rural areas and a few people, and spread all over the world.
Many of Ip Man's early disciples received modern higher education, and what's more, they used modern educational concepts and languages to spread Wing Chun gradually.
Third, actively promote Wing Chun Boxing and push Wing Chun Boxing to the world;
Ip Man's third contribution to Wing Chun is to actively carry forward Wing Chun. In just 22 years (50-72 years), he not only promoted Wing Chun in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, but also spread the seeds of Wing Chun to every corner of the world, making the fruits of Wing Chun spread firmly in major countries in the world.
