96-Year-Old Kung Fu Master Carries on Ip Man's Legacy

Ok, this man is one of my heroes. He's 97 years old now, yet continues to train, teach, and keep his skills and mind sharp, and the fact that he can remember stuff from when he was 6 or 7 years old speak volumes of how he has maintained himself. Honestly, he gives off the energy of a 30 year old

[@PC-yp5dl]

Real Kung Fu, along with real Karate, Ju Jitsu, Judo, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Newaza, etc are all actual martial art forms that have been around longer than anyone's been alive today. Much longer. To judge the authenticity of them based on TV or movies or even competitions is absolutely ridiculous. You want to know what it takes to get a legitimate black belt in Kung Fu? At least 8-10 years of weekly training based on learning, memorizing, perfecting moves, sets of moves, taking tests, conditioning, competitions, growing significantly physically mentally and emotionally.

[@ISZAudio]

Besides the fact that Kung Fu doesn't have belts (some westernized schools use sashes but that's irrelevant here), absolutely spot on. It takes years of dedication and hard training.

[@simkoning4648]

Some of the martial arts you listed were created as recently as last century. Regardless, something being old doesn't necessarily make it better. A flint lock pistol is not as effective as a modern semi-auto pistol for example. Modern medicine is superior to 19th century quackery. I used to teach Kung Fu. I learned 2 systems, including wing chun. If you're a fan of Chinese culture and just want to learn what is essentially martial arts themed dance traditional kung fu is fine. Wing chun is okay if you want to learn a few hand trapping techniques. But don't bother if you really want to learn self defense or how to actually fight. If you want Kung Fu that works in a fight, learn sanda. Muay Thai, wrestling, boxing and BJJ are good too. If you're determined to be a "wing chun fighter", learn kickboxing or boxing first, then learn wing chun.

[@simkoning4648]

Btw, I'll add that most of those 8-10 years will be spent learning mostly useless hand and weapon forms. You would get more fighting skill from 3 months of Brazilian jiu-jitsu or 6 months of boxing.

@Indigo V Ironically no. he started learning in earnest only when he was PAST his prime, & when he said he didn't get into a fight, he MEANT it. kung fu, at its core, is more about self refinement, a kind of moving meditation, than it is an actual fighting art. with an art that ain't combat-based, you'd get good enough with the routines & moves when you spend enough time honing them. actual fights ain't necessary.

Tobacco does kill you, and it's dangerous to say otherwise. Ip Chun has been doing Wing Chun for decades, meaning he is in great health for his age. His genetics could potentially be a factor too.

[@luismaldonado914]

Ok so how is he a great kungfu master with no fighting at all does that prove you can still know how to fight even with out getting into a fight

[@shaquadradeloiserussell8659]

does winning a hundred fights mean that eventually someone won't take you down...? what if they're seeming a lot weaker than you? All it really takes is a single split second of not paying attention, and a steady eye, to crush your trachea, and/or smash the back of your neck (or both) , inducing swelling of the throat, possibly breaking the neck, causing hemorrhaging , swelling, cutting off blood to the brain, air supply as it gradually swells worse, even if your neck doesn't break, there's a high chance of dying, ...even if you aren't fatally hit, it does not take a whole lot to fracture the base of the skull and paralyze you. .....This IS of course if somebody really wants you dead/ or you want to kill someone... I recommend you weigh out the repercussions of that before trying it. Fighting really is a fools game, because its usually when people are just acting a jackass that we have our worst accidents, with a strength that we don't know we possess. Its less refined.

Your statement proves that you have no idea what 'kung fu' means in the first place.

Wing Chun, at its core, AIN'T a martial art that one can go pick fights with (why do you think Bruce Lee invented Jeet Kune Do in the first place?). if you just take some time to look into the moves & principles, you'd see that it's a defense art for fighting big yet unskilled & very much stupid brutes who have their arms extended all the time in a fight. getting good in Wing Chun is just like getting good in Tai Chi, by knowing the intricacies & subtleties of the moves inside-out, NOT by winning actual fist fights.
