Biography IP Mana is complete

Childhood and period of training IP Man was born on October 14 in the city of Foshan, in the Chinese province of Guangdun. IP Man was from an aristocratic and relatively rich family, but as a youngest son, he did not inherit either a social situation or significant capital. In childhood, IP Man received an excellent traditional Chinese education, part of this education was the study of martial arts.

Chhana Vasyong died when IP Manu was twelve years old. Among the latest requests with which the master turned to the senior student, NG Zungsou at Chuns was the order to continue the training of IP Mana. Thus, NG Zunsoou became the second teacher IP Mana.

In the year, at the age of fifteen, IP Man was sent to Hong Kong to obtain a more modern education at St. Stephen's College. IP Man became a student of Lenon Bik and thus got the opportunity to continue to study the Kung fu Win-Chong with the same branch, but a little in another interpretation. Subsequently, IP Man said that he took a good base from Chkhan Vasyun, and adopted sophisticated applied techniques from Lenon Bik.

Life in China IP Man returned to Foshan at the age of twenty -four years by the already established martial artist. In subsequent years, he repeatedly entered into fights with famous fighters and arranged joint training to exchange experience in the garden of his house. As a result, both the skill of IP Mana and his fame grew. The main occupation of IP Mana was the service of the police officer.

During this period of life, IP Mana formally had no students, but he gave lessons to several relatives and colleagues. After the start of the Japanese-Chinese war, the hometown of IP Mana, Foshan, quickly was under the rule of the Japanese occupation forces. In the current environment, IP Man decided to avoid any cooperation, and indeed contacts with the Japanese administration.

As a result, he first remained without work, and then without a livelihood. One of the friends of IP Mana, the owner of the cotton factory, periodically helped him. Despite this, IP Man decided to move to Hong Kong. After the end of World War II in the year, IP Man returned to Foshan from Hong Kong and again entered the police. In the beginning of the Civil War, he took the side of the conservative party of the Gomintang, which formally ruled the Chinese republic, but actually losing control over the territory of China.

When in the year the entire continental China was in the hands of the victorious communist party, IP Man again fled first to Macau, and then to Hong Kong: after all, he was a supporter of the Gomintan, and also served in the police; Thus, after the Communists came to power, he had enough reasons to worry about his own safety. The wife of IP Mana and his children remained in China.

Life in Hong Kong was fifty-six years old without funds and almost without connections in a foreign country, IP Man decided to violate the clan tradition of transmitting Vin-Chun skill and began to openly teach this art for a fee. His approach, however, was far from a modern commercial approach to teaching martial arts. According to his son, never in his life, the master did not give an advertisement; As a rule, he did not even hang the signs, which stated that he was teaching martial art.

Future students found him themselves. IP Man, without giving public promises to teach anyone, retained the right to choose: to accept a person as a student or not. Despite the fact that IP Man began to openly teach Vin-Chun rather under the pressure of circumstances, gradually the spread and propaganda of Kung Fu became his life. IP Man never claimed that he was the head of a school, and his students, who passed the full course of training, began to teach wines-chun on their own behalf.

Only in the last few years of life, IP Man stopped conducting group classes, while continuing to give personal lessons in his house. In the year, he found a larynx cancer, on December 1, IP Man died. Wanting to save the Win-Chun system and pass it on to the future generations of students, a few weeks before the death of IP Man, recorded his execution of basic forms on the film.

International recognition in Hong Kong, IP Man gained fame during his lifetime, but in continental China his name has been forgotten for a long time. At the end of the year in Foshan, the IP Mana Museum was opened on the territory of the local historical museum. Thus, the historical role of IP Mana was eventually recognized in his homeland, despite his past political beliefs.
