## Bio

Born Ip Kai-man on 1 October 1893, he began teaching Wing Chun at twenty, spending decades refining a martial art that might have remained obscure. His school in Hong Kong produced a generation of fighters who carried the style forward, but one student reshaped the equation entirely: Bruce Lee, whose fame retroactively spotlighted the teacher. Ip Man died on 2 December 1972, his legacy sealed not by his own celebrity but by the supernova success of the young man he'd trained.
