Speaking of this lineage, we can’t avoid talking about him, grand master wong shun leung, he is the reason why this lineage is called WSL Ving Tsun, or WSL Ving Tsun Science of Fighting, Ving Tsun Kuen Hok, Vingtsunology, etc. I call him the mentor of Bruce Lee, not only because it’s for SEO, promotional purposes, but also because it’s the truth. So, who is he?
In the Ip Man movie franchise, he appeared once in Ip Man 2, where in the very beginning, when Ip Man had just moved from Foshan, Guangdong province, mainland China, to Hong Kong, his first challenger and student in the movie franchise, which is not the historical truth, but it doesn’t matter, all matters is that we can see, he tried to use boxing techniques, then defeated. After that, he brought 3 more of his boxing friends, all defeated as well. If you like Boxing, you may feel offended already now, claim and chill, that’s just the movie, I can’t make the call, lol, the only historical truth is GM Wong Shun Leung’s story, others are all decided by the movie director.
Wong Shun Leung used to be a boxer. Why I stress this, because he was the person, a long time before us who doubted is traditional martial art can be used in a real fight scenario, he challenged some(at least from the rumour, how many? Doesn’t matter, no way he only challenged Ip Man for sure), until he challenged ip man, the truth was, he challenged some of other ip man’s students first, and his students all got defeated, yes, that’s the truth no need to hide lol, if your Ving Tsun haven’t reach certain level, you can be easily defeated by boxer, then Ip Man showed his “hospitality” himself, then Ip Man told him come another day if he still want more.
Anyway, the story is the rumour I heard from his first-generation students, believe it or not, 100% true or not, it doesn’t matter, but Wong Shun Leung’s system speaks for Ip Man and himself; we are definitely not the first history man to ask questions, too late to do, Wong used to say boxers are dangerous as well, they are hard to deal with, Bruce Lee also had learnt boxing, why they both want Ving Tsun in the end? Are they stupid? The answer is inside the system. I don’t like storytelling, to be honest. I write this kind of article for SEO purposes only, but maybe some people would like to hear, for whatever reason, only you can find the answer yourself; otherwise, no story, no evidence can help.
