Yip Man (Part 1)

Yip was born to Yip Oi-dor and Ng Shui, He grew up in a wealthy family in Foshan, Guangdong. Yip started learning Wing Chun from Chan Wah-shun when he was 13. Yip was Chan's last student. Yip learned most of his skills and techniques from Chan's second oldest: Ng Chung-sok. At the age of 15, Yip moved to Hong Kong, he attended school at St. Stephen's College -- a secondary school for wealthy families and foreigners living in Hong Kong. He saw a foreign police officer beating a woman and Yip intervened. The officer attempted to attack Yip, but Yip struck him down and ran to school with his classmate. Yip's classmate later told an older man who lived in his apartment block. The man met with Yip and asked what martial art Yip practiced. The man told Yip that his forms were "not too great". The man challenged Yip's Wing Chun against the man in Chi Sao. Yip saw this as an opportunity to prove that his abilities were good, but was defeated by the man after a few strikes. Yip's opponent revealed himself to be Leung Bik, Chan Wah-shun's senior and son of Chan's teacher, Leung Jan. After that encounter, Yip continued learning from Leung Bik.
