Ip Man’s Wing Chun Code of Conduct
The late Ip Man (1893 -1972) wrote a code of conduct for Wing Chun to
remind students that Wing Chun was about more than just fighting. Wing
Chun should not be taken lightly and learning the destructive art should
come with moral responsibility. Outlined below is the code of conduct
