Ip Ching was born 1936 in Foo Shan, China.  At the age of thirteen Ip Ching began Wing Chun training under his father's (Yip Man) guidance. However his training was discontinued when his father moved to Hong Kong to try and find a better life for his family. Ip Man brought his eldest daughter with him to Hong Kong, leaving behind his brother Ip Chun and his other sisters to live with their mother in China...

...In 1962, he moved to Hong Kong and was reunited with his father, once again training in Wing Chun under his fathers direct guidance. Ip Man's school was at his house and Ip Ching lived with his father. This gave Ip Ching an enormous amount of insight to Wing Chun and his fathers teaching methods.

The house was passed to Ip Ching where he lives with his family today. After Ip Man's death, Ip Ching continued teaching Wing Chun part time, and opened a successful manufacturing factory that he ran until 1994 where upon he decided to retire and begin teaching Wing Chun full time once again. Today Ip Ching teaches privately in his home as well as at the Ip Man Ving Tsun Athletic Association in Hong Kong. Traveling abroad he conducts Wing Chun seminars in the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States.
