Why Ip Man Stopped Teaching Bruce Lee #martialarts #kungfu #viral #shorts #trending

This is why Ip Man, the grandmaster of Wing Chun, stopped teaching Bruce Lee, the legendary martial artist and actor who is considered one of the most influential martial artists of all time. Bruce Lee was a student of Ip Man in Hong Kong between late 1956 and 1957. One theory suggests that Ip Man disapproved of Bruce Lee’s fighting style, which incorporated techniques from Western boxing and fencing. Another theory is that Ip Man simply got too busy with other commitments and didn’t have the time to train Lee anymore. However, the time Lee spent learning all he could from Ip Man was complicated by his relationships with his fellow students, who shared an extreme dislike for him. Jealous of his status as a child actor and the success he had achieved under Wong and Ip, many of them made efforts to get Lee expelled from the Wing Chun school. The reason they used was based on Lee’s heritage. Since his mother was Eurasian, they argued Ip shouldn’t teach Chinese martial arts to someone who was of mixed race. During these days, it’s true that it wasn’t acceptable for non-Chinese to learn kung fu, but Ip didn’t see it that way and kept Lee around.
