Yip Man's WC skill has been highly exaggerated due to widespread popularity of his style as well as connection with Bruce Lee. There are many other wonderful but lesser-known WC lineages out there and a number of which I would consider superior to YM's.

Ip Man was not a street fighter. He was born in a middle class family. His father paid for his tuition to learn Wing Chun from one of the Wing Chun branches. There are many different lineages of Wing Chun. They use a different Chinese character for the word "wing". This guy's Wing Chun is "永", but Ip Man's Wing Chun is "詠". Chun is "春" meaning "spring". Ip Man Wing Chun is '詠春" which literally means "chanting a poem of spring". "永春" means "always being spring". Why are there so many versions? Wing Chun was not originated from Guangdong province, but was brought to Guangdong by a Chinese opera player from Hubei, who was involved in fighting against the Ta Ching Manchurian army. Hubei people could not speak Cantonese. And in Hubei, the word "永" and "詠" have exactly the same pronunciation. My speculation is that the original word should be "泳", meaning "swim". If you look at most of the hand forms in Wing Chun, you will find that they are almost all related to the hand, arm, and shoulder positions of a person swimming using "breaststroke".

We call this Red Boat dummy as the Title FSC means Fong Siu Ching. There was never such a thing as Heaven, earth, Man. There are only Two dummy sets in Tang Family, Red Boat Dummy passed to Tang Suen by Fong Siu Ching and Tang Dummy passed from Tang Family. I believe it is important to get the right understanding.
