The rich dude is probably Yip Bo Ching. "No-one mentions the legacy that is Yip Bo Ching, he was one of the First batch if Ip Man's students and was aprently very skilled in Wing Chun with a knack of picking things up quickly. The following information was collected from interviews with Wong Shun Leung (deceased), Choy Shung Tin, Wong Chock (deceased), and Yip Bo Ching's nephew Wong Ping Kwan. Yip Bo Ching was a well to do businessman with a decent education. He made much of his wealth in the construction industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Yip Bo Ching was among the first group of Hong Kong students under Yip Man. Yip Bo Ching had many advantages - money, connections, a strong martial arts mind, and was a physically big and strong man. Most important, Yip Bo Ching admired the useful combative mechanics found within the Wing Chun Gung-fu system. He became Yip Man's favored student....some would say "most favored" student. Yip Bo Ching's had the means to pay for long term private lessons. He often sent his car (or drove himself) to transport Yip Man to and from the many private practice sessions lasting a handful of years. It was Yip Bo Ching who rough up the young (non-WC) Wong Shun Leung. In 1997, master Wong Shun Leung recounted that "Although I do not believe that I lost that fight, I do believe most people there would say that he (Yip Bo Ching) won." Wong himself soon joined the group and became Yip Man's most famous fighter and longest follower.Yip Bo Ching was reputed to be the first to learn all three open hand sets, the Dummy, and the Kwan. He was also one of only two people to learn the twelve section version of Yip Man's "Eight Chop Broadswords" and was among the selected few allowed to copy the three Dr. Leung Jon medicine books held by Yip Man. There is some belief that Yip Bo Ching was well on his way to become Yip Man's most cherished protege. Fate, however, would not be kind to Yip Bo Ching and he contracted what was believed to be hepatitis and quickly died while still in his early 30's (his true age is unknown). Today is name is faded and few of the old timers remember much of the man who might well have been the keeper of Yip Man's WC art".
thx. sifu sergio for sharing this interview. it was very enlightening . Sifu Cheng Kwong seems like a very nice man imho. i hope i can see his kung fu 1 day. even if it's just a clip. thx again.
He also stated that it was Chi Sim (至善禅师) who taught the red boat opera members. So his version of the story does not have Ng Mui or Yim Wing Chun, her husband Leung Bok Lau, or Leung Lan Kwai. So just accept that his story is different from Yip Man's.
I knows that story! I also think maybe Yip Bo Ching or leung sheung. But Curious who fought Wong Before Yip Bo Ching and Yip Man. In Wong Shun Leung Book said Who's he fought the first guy later Who's became Sifu in Taiwan. I guess is GM LMK??
On 13:09-13:17 Master Cheng kwong stated Chu Chung Man SAID Chan Wah Shun for memorial his wife Yim Wing Chun!?????If im not Wrong, Yim Wing Chun was Leung Bok To wife!!!Someone can tell me what happen here!?And Who's that rich guys teach him the rest of Chum kil , bil jee!?

There's many version of Who's passed the art to redboat..such as Cheung Ng, Chi Sim, Leung lan kwai..also the famous of Wong Wah Bo and Leung Yi tai!!
I also heard some other version of Chi Sim taught Leung Yi tai Long Pole technique and later Leung exchanges with Wong Wah Bo Wing Chun...
RIP

Is this the same as the Vietnam Wing Chun with all those animal forms ?
no
Lok Yiu is Ip Man's favorite, really?
