Number Two
Career
At the age of 15, Man moved to Hong Kong, where he later attended St. Stephen's College. While in Hong Kong he also continued his martial arts training.
Man eventually returned to Foshan at the age of 24 and was employed as a police officer. By this point, his Wing Chun skills were such that he was able to begin giving private lessons.
In 1949, when the Chinese Communist Party came to power, Man fled to Hong Kong, where he opened a Wing Chun school, charging for his services and becoming the first martial arts master to train students publicly.
One of Man's most notable students was Bruce Lee, who studied under the master in 1953. At the age of 13, Lee was an excellent and intense student and became proficient in the Wing Chun art.
Lee would return to visit Yip Man in later years, the two having become friends.
