Ip Chun (葉準 or Yip Jun) (b. 1924) is Yip Man's (Yip Gei-Man) eldest son. He was born in 1924 in Foshan in the Zheyieng Delta region of the Guangdong province of Southern China. He began studying Wing Chun with his father when he was 7 years old, however he admits that he did not really want to learn at that time and that he remembers relatively little from that early tuition.
When the Chinese Communist gained victory in Chinese civil war in 1949, the communists began to persecute the wealthy, the influential and anyone connected to the Chinese Nationalist. Since Ip Man was both wealthy and a Captain of Local Police patrols of Foshan, he felt forced to leave mainland China, finally settling in Hong Kong after a short stay in Macao with friends. However, being only 24, Ip Chun stayed behind to continue his studies at University studying Chinese history and traditional Chinese music. He also researched Chinese Philosophy.
