    Ip Man - Portrait of a Kung Fu Master Ip Ching and Ron Heimberger

    July 25, 2015
    Ip Man led an interesting life. The master of Wing Chun Kung Fu lived through tumultuous times that included the Boxer Rebellion, the Sino-Japanese War, and China's Communist revolution. After the Japanese occupation he served for a time as a police chief. Coming from a wealthy family, he experienced a riches to rags fall when the Communists took over. He had to move from his home in Foshan to Hong Kong. His use of kung fu was not restricted to the training hall, but, rather, included a few real world altercations. A couple films have been made(loosely) about his life.

    All that being said, this book doesn't do a great job of capturing the life of this intriguing man.

Its fifteen chapters are each built around a principle and use vignettes from Ip Ma
