Bruce Lee's Teacher Yip Man Performing Wing Chun 1972 - RARE FOOTAGE

[trumastanr1]

Thank you for sharing this very nice video of the legend if it wouldent be un yip man then there wouldent be any bruce Lee

[trumastanr1]

In respect for martial arts its not only about fight its about finding your inner self then you can accomplish anything trust me

[CinemaTheaters]

Wow. Truly Amazing! When i watched Ip Man and Ip Man 2 a few days ago i thought that he also died young, but i was wrong :) so Beutiful

[xia0dai97]

The song reminds me about watching about the story about him

[fable23]

A week away from death, and this man has more control over his own body than people in the prime of their youth.

[Ottomaro]

I am 27, and I can barely lift my leg half the height he does.

[Novinte]

shit, even this old and weak he was fast. wow

[dreamwarriors81]

BEAUTIFUL SONG AND VIDEO. A TRUE LEGEND OF THE AGES....LONG LIVE WING CHUN

[ukyo48]

i just wanna play shenmue after this ^^

[xHzDxKING]

Its not about the persons strength or skills to fight, its about how he guides his strength and his skills to himself.

Kung Fu is not just fighting moves, its a way of life.Everything in life is Kung Fu from lifting your hand to sitting down on a chair.

[clos1122]

Ip Man proved to everyone that it's not the style that counts, it's the martial artist behind it.

[TheFlowMeister]

@clos1122 I agree with that, I think it is quite a special clip of Ip Man and considering his age his movements are still pretty sharp in my opinion. Just shows how hard he worked at his Wingchun skill, how it was carefully preserved through the years. Wingchun history is important to remember so that we can continue this mans legacy.

Thanks for sharing.

[TheSufiJedi]

Thank you for sharing this!

[akbar9289]

i like yip man

[chivyas44]

I'm lucky to watch this master. Thanks for bringing the rare Gift.

[Rocksliverable]

Wong shun leung was actually his 1st student

[K4ne91]

@Rocksliverable really?

[Rocksliverable]

@kev9cool ur so dumb. Ip chun is alive n kickin...look him up on wikipedia

[JustFunTymes]

OMG, this video almost made me cry....

[TsugaruClan]

I'm in awe at what good shape he was in at that age. I'd like to be in that shape at that age. In fact, I'd like to even reach that age.

[Moodo1]

@TsugaruClan He actually died just weeks after filming this. He was really sick but was talked into making these movies for the world to watch. Knowing that, its really impressive how much power his techniques possess in the film,

[TsugaruClan]

@Moodo1 Indeed, that he was also sick, it makes it all the more impressive. Doubtful I'll even get to that age, but if I did, I can only imagine moving as well as he does.

[manieksandra]

niesamowity

[nomak231]

can anybody tells me the title of this song??thank you very much!!

[mAx1h99]

@nomak231

Jia Peng Fang - Silent Moon, ( Read Description )

[nomak231]

@mAx1h99 thank you very much my friend

[gstephane31]

The 17 dislikes didn't find the way of martial arts...

[Lonewolf777able]

the 17 dislikes are from people who he kicked ass....BADLY

[LukeWingTsun]

Eu me emociono vendo o mestre Ip Man neste video.,,Saber que ele existiu é muito gratifiicante!Obrigado a Deus por ter trazido ele e outros mestres.(BRUCE LEE)Nihal

[peacekevin16]

He is the reason why millions of people started practicing wing chun

[paologianan]

wow that's amazing it immortalized the masters teachings tnx to the one who took the shot and thnx to the one who uploads it..

[AsG1989]

People dont realize what forms are for, obviously you dont get in a fight and do this. It has benefits to your health and it makes certain parts of the body stronger, especially your legs and wrists.

[kev9cool]

ummmm im chinese so im gonna tell the truth ip chun died in 2004

[familybc146]

@kev9cool I believe you're talking about this man's son.

[mAx1h99]

Im Greek, and Through all my Heart i Love China. Truely because has Such Master Peaceful Music, Great Martial Arts like Wing Chun and has born Bruce Lee the Legend-Warrior

[LPNGEORGE]

@mAx1h99 go to Athos

[SlowmotionDim]

@mAx1h99 For me it's as you I'm greek too and like that much :)

[tsoults]

@mAx1h99 Έχεισ δίκιο φίλε μου!

[CWOrange91]

@62elvis he said he learned more kung fu from Wong shun leung. But he learned martial arts from ip.

[peacekevin16]

dislikes can come from the quallity which sucks I sure think someone is smart enough to fix it too but well I dont care I can see the techniques its good

+1 like

[boytuhab]

@peacekevin16 quality sucks? are you fucking kidding me? it's from 1972 man what did you expect? fucking hd cameras? cameras that have high quality and color on those times was rare,we are even lucky that this footage was able to be ported to modern codecs.

[peacekevin16]

@boytuhab lol not at all just that it is bad its a fact I dont expect nice quality from that time chill

[12acso]

@boytuhab this video is as it should be.. the black and white and crackles in the video have their charm

[Ninga0809]

shows u don't need to be buff to be hardcore....all u need is lean muscle and skillz.

[LotusGraal]

at the end of ip man 2 when the kid said he was bruce lee i was so shock epic ending lmao

[antimatter07]

14 guys like boxing

[lHateJuice]

@antimatter07

its obvious that u dont have any clue about martial arts.

whats wrong whit boxing?

even bruce lee himself used boxing techniques to create jeet kun doe.

so stfu u clueless idiot.

[SASJKL]

@lHateJuice he's just making "dislike" jokes man, calm down.

[miffels]

@lHateJuice

Obviously you didn't watch the movies.

[lHateJuice]

@miffels

the movies are like almost all other overstated martial arts movies, just because all the people expected such movies, because otherwise its boring for them. and its far away from what really happened. if bruce lee was still alive and if he wouldve been the director of the ip man movies, it definitely wouldve become a way more authentic movie than the actual movie.

[KingFire2112]

We are seeing a true master and maybe one of the greatest fighters the world has ever witnessed,this man taugh a teacher who taugh a teacher who taught a teacher who taught a teacher who is teaching me...I hope that one day I might be half as good as this man was...

[ruben49236]

Super man that lol

[EliteAMBU1]

He was soooo thin, still he was strong :o

[24hasans]

this was a man with pride and respect

[leandrowfx]

Here´s the example of a man!

[raulred93]

10 of those 14 dislikes are Japanese black belts who got beat up. The other 4 are just assholes.

[aristos1231]

i can see that he has twice powers from me but the innet energy is more that 10 times! i usually cry when i watch the movie

[Jdxthoj]

He truly was a legend...

[ToscaWolf19]

Even in sickness, i bet Yip Man could'ev kicked Chuck Norris's ass!!

[griiLL01]

what's the song's name? please

[shiifu]

@griiLL01 Jia peng fang night in bejing i belive

[griiLL01]

@shiifu thank You very muCh :)

[shiifu]

@griiLL01 Im sorry it is the same artist but the song is named Silent moon, But listen to the song Night of bejing this artist is crazy how good he is. I remember walking in the old streets of china and I could hear this songs be played.. and Everything just stopped, everything just took as ages back to the old china.. it was so amazing and beutifull./ Shifu M.

[thekingflip]

[shiifu]

@thekingflip You can download a program called Free youtube converter to mp3 and then you copy the youtube link and paste it on the program and you will have that song or anyone els // Good luck// Shifu

[phambo40920]

Awesome video...ip man is and will always be the man.

[SoulBloodJVL]

When i see how he moves,I can already tell that he is skillful,strong and awesome fighter!

[leandrowfx]

He´s the guy!

[Robtamm]

even at this age Master Yip could have kick all of our asses and have time to sit back and have tea, without losing his breathe. Master Yip will always be one of the greatest.......

[vwjohn717]

What a lot of people don't know about him is he was a heroin addict...

[Googlystube]

@vwjohn717 yup..(yip? lol)...he was a serious opium user. toking on the opium pipe is probably what gave him throat cancer and killed him.

but hey, he lived his life and improved his art in spite of his flaws.....we should all be so lucky

[Googlystube]

2nd form......about two people here will realise it

[VOICESINMYHEAD1]

BEAUTIFUL

[maldo24]

Thank you whoever posted this...this is proof a man named yip man once existed... I apologize for those who shame this beautiful art...

[Cris666Hot]

great training video of wing chun,i train with my asian neighbor on fighting styles like wing chun,taekwondoe,MMA,wrestling and some karate,he's good with all the basics,but if i go above my determination,im better,and i train with my other friend denise on kickboxing,BJJ,MMA,taekwondoe,­wrestling,and gun survival tactics he's good as well,also eddie(asian) ,but i know they can do better

Denise:6ft 1inch around 190

Eddie:6ft 3inch around 210

Me:5ft 6inch 160

it just shows whos more determined

[wonphi]

Much respect to Yip Man, but some of these Yip Man praise comments are ridiculous.

[lostOTL]

bruce lee was lucky to learn from yip man and those who learned from him

dame im jealouse

wish i was born back then to learn wing chun from yip man

[houseofaction]

@lostOTL bruce actually only learned from him for 2 years after 2 years bruce learned from 2 of ips top students. for only 3 more years then he moved back to america yip also said that bruce was never his top student and was never as good as people said

[62Elvis]

@lostOTL Ip man was fantastic as a teacher but bruce once admitted that he actually learned more about kung fu from Wong shun leung than he did from Ip man.

[mikeisss79]

@62Elvis I don't mean to sound like a naysayer, but do you happen to remember where you read, heard, or saw this paticular bit of information. I'm not saying that you're making this up, I am just fascinated with Bruce Lee. I also have been a student of Augustine Fong for the last 4 years who is of Ip Man lineage.

[62Elvis]

@mikeisss79 i read it online a while back i paraphrased a quote from bruce from a letter or a phone call(i forget which) in which he told wong shun leung that he felt like he learned more about martial arts from him than he did from ip man; u can google it its online; im definitely not making it up im a big fan of bruce lee as well

[KeyboardPacifist]

@mikeisss79 - Look up the lineages. It's pretty well known. The younger guy's didnt "touch hands" with the their elders. Bruce only trained 2yrs with the larger group in GM Yip Man's school until he was booted out because of pressure. He spent the next 3 years under W.Leung. The elders were jealous of rich and famous kid movie star Bruce and used his white heritage to get him booted. So he didnt have the option of staying. Later, GM Yip Man wouldnt teach him more because he taught outsiders

[fauxmocracy]

Yip Kai-Man Real OG

[AEROTRAP]

he could whoop everybody who disliked this

[1kamp1]

@mrshizzele4u mate u dont know what u saying , you are like the boxer in ip man 2 

[MrSHIZZLE4u]

This guy looks like a fag. I could beat the shit outta him.

Wing Chun my ass............what a crock of shit.

[XFitness4LifeX]

@MrSHIZZLE4u shut up stupid american kid! dont put shame on si fu yip mans name!

[flamerz94]

is this truly real? i wonder who's filming.

also, just wanted to say, Yip Man is an amazing martial artist and inspired me to want to learn Wing Chun more than ever.

[ALEXAMify]

in his  age i wont be able to lift my ass up he lift his leg...

[aeicis]

so beautiful



[songokuuuuu911]

ho sorry..its bruce lee's teacher

[songokuuuuu911]

is that even bruce lee???

[shogunkato]

thanks for posting!! amazing footage.

[SlayingTheIlluminati]

bruce lee aint got nothing on yip man

[bludz10]

fuck those fat retarded people who even dislike it..

don't diss the master of kung fu and bruce lee's..

[chiladin]

So beautiful it almost made me cry.

[omegajbmb]

The 10 dislikes are from the 10 guys he beat down simultaneously.

[nonchablunt]

@omegajbmb

it was 13 with just one roundhousekick, chuck norris being one of 'em ^^

[mokurai01]

i wouldlike to thank great grandmaster yip for wing chun and if most of u tools wold actually ak to his sons ip ching and ip chun you would know that bruce paid his sifu nohig but respect

[PIANOBYMAURICE]

We love you Yip. God bless you dear brother. maurice

[felixqqqq]

i loved when lil bruce came in all arrogant and cocky i was waiting for it too

[nimnash]

Ha Ha Ha you are right!!! That is a safe assumption. I just got done watching the second one. The first one was better but I didnt know he taught B. Lee. That is amazing that he could move ike that a week before he died. Not sure if I could believe it is a week before but anyhow he does look sick.

[grillorb]

A disciple is nothing without his master. Wong was disciple of Yip Man... That's all... I don't want argue the words of Yip Man... I just consider that Yip Man only praised his disciple (Wong) and the work that made with Bruce Lee. Only this... Ok?

I also think that this kind of discussion is completely useless..

[BigMeeks512]

Whats The name of The song?? Please

[grillorb]

Yip Man was the master Wong. Wong was a brilliant fighter, but Yip Man has merit.

It is very easy for people to want to take the merit of their masters. Without them there would be a fighter

[grillorb]

Yip Man was Master Wong. Wong was a brilliant fighter, but Yip Man has merit.

It is very easy for people to want to take the merit of their masters. Without them there would be a fighter

[TheKOng2000]

AMAZING how so one that old still able to move like that...no offense but now a days we are like in our wheel chair n cain walking hella slow...

[briky7126]

wing chun sucks and this man isnt as half as good as gsp

[58dragonmist]

@briky7126 you talk a load off ill informed garbage

[JohnnyTie]

@58dragonmist Just let those who are fools fullfill their purpose of acting foolish, for it will bring them wisdom later.

[kane2113]

Ass Whooping Genius!

[62Elvis]

nothing against Ip but bruce once said that he felt like he learned More about martial arts from wong shun leung than he did from Ip man. (paraphrased)

[grillorb]

@62Elvis You are a stupid... Any comments against Yip Man is purely stupid

[BrokenMarc]

@grillorb did you read the first 3 words of his comment?

"..If someday, Siu Lung (Bruce) succeeds, the credit should rightfully go to you.” - Yip man to Wong.

“In ‘59 Bruce told me that Wong was the greatest fighter in the wing chun style, and that he had successfully defeated all challengers.” -Glover (Lee's student)

[grillorb]

@BrokenMarc

"Wong almost single-handedly put this previously low-profile martial art in the public spotlight, gaining great prestige for his teacher, the late grandmaster, Yip Man"

"Yip Man was a professor of Wong. Yip Man has more merit for being the teacher. Wong was a good student."

[BrokenMarc]

@grillorb ok this time read the quotes

"..If someday, Siu Lung (Bruce) succeeds, the credit should rightfully go to you.” - Yip man to Wong.

“In ‘59 Bruce told me that Wong was the greatest fighter in the wing chun style, and that he had successfully defeated all challengers.” -Glover (Lee's student)

you want to argue against Lee and Yip man's own words? have fun with that

[grillorb]

@62Elvis Yip Man was a professor of Wong. Yip Man has more merit for being the teacher. Wong was a good student.

Yip Man was the master of Wong. Wong was a brilliant fighter, but Yip Man has merit.

It is very easy for people to want to take the merit of their masters. Without them there would be a fighter

[mycutepuppy007]

You will be in everyone's hearts and those who know your amazing skills. R.I.P Yip Man . The greatest martial artist in the world.

[CAZPERsayz]

the master WATAAAAIIIIIIIIII

[chilamilla]

G.O.A.T

[metajamax12]

My hero :( i can only dream of having such a talent..

[xinyster18]

perfection.....



[mr10am]

pretty amazing for a 80 year old to move like that. most ppl at that age have trouble getting out of a chair

[Alesandros356]

@mr10am dont forget the fact that he had throut cancer

[brandingo]

12 people got beat up by Ip Man

[zakkman8]

He could still kick my ass at that age

[tvilla76]

Ip Man & Ip Man 2 were awesome. I'm pretty sure if you're watching this video you watched the movies..

[MyrtaBeatz]

@tvilla76 best kungfu movie ever. game me and a friend of mine chills.

[NAOCIA007]

1972 the year he died, I only wish i had met him and trained with him for the sake of becoming a better person physically and mentally, Bruce Lee was so lucky too bad he died so young RIP Yip Man and Bruce Lee best of the best, wish I live close to one of their schools I would go there and spend time doing something better than just sitting in front of a computer :P.

[holmes15688]

The master who spawned a legend! Yip man wat a boss. Anyone else think he look like he break dancing a lil bit lol

[soloeinhander]

Guys, don't let these ignorant people disrupt your positive mind.

[user30a]

[Phenomenalhardy]

[spartagis818]

[mikal250]

[MisterNifty]

Great music.

[yasswah]

Grandmaster!



[cfelipelima]

beautiful!

[flash4637]

one of a kind

[ghost27rsr]

SIFU forgive me i have let the world distract me from your teaching,but let it be known that your teachings ,even on your last breath ,will not die in vain.Every time i find peace of mind and soul i will think about you ,in every form you will always be in my heart.

[forsaken108]

He's doing this at an old age and with throat cancer.. I can never do that no matter how young or how healthy I am. Respect, Yip Man..

[MrCharlieChopper]

Rest in peace you legends

[ConkerBFDman]

Yip man is great but I think he cudnt beat bruce lee

[iizgod100]

@ConkerBFDman

bruce lee is good, but yip man is the one who actually trained him, i doubt anyone could win a fight against him even bruce lee

[dickran2142battle]

@ConkerBFDman he was bruce lees master

[freaxization]

@dickran2142battle Yes and he was one of the best kung fu masters in the entire world i think, something like that

[yourM0th3r]

grandmaster yip man. we need him right now to deal with these ufc fighters.

[TheViking80287]

May Yip Man Rest In Peace

[TheViking80287]

He is the reason I got into Wing Chun

[Straphian]

the 12 people that disliked this should die

[iknoucit3]

may Bruce Lee and Yip Man rest in peace, legends forever

[MrChubbyface]

Yip Man was the one who killed bruce lee

[Zejex15]

Get something to eat! Please...

[4sistemas]

@Zejex15 He has cancer. This was recorded like one week before he died from that. You should be more respectfull for someone who gave his own food to poor children during war in China.

[Zejex15]

@4sistemas he's dead, he therefore give a shit. And so do I.

[4sistemas]

@Zejex15 It's sad that only the wrong ones passes away while some still living beings were wrongly born.

[Zejex15]

@4sistemas Accept it

[dickran2142battle]

@Zejex15 GO FUCK YOURSELF AND PAY SOME RESPECT TO OTHER PEOPLE YOU HAVE WITTED DOG

as one comment implied that YOU are born wrong and have no respect i agree at least through your hate filled life put some effort in paying respect to others IF YOU CAN AND UNDERSTAND WHAT I JUST SAID

[mymarshian]

holy crap..i thought the movie was a joke..ip man really is real..wooooooooow

[ka1447]

so awesome!

[ei8190]

I can feel the power of those punches. don't even ask how.

[coipo95]

[termin2]

pls , what is the name of the song , I want it in my play list, thank you.

[Gundameister93]

Bruce Lee was sure lucky to have a great teacher like Yip Man.

[wzmacniaczpl]

[darroni123]

[JohnnyGraves15]
