"The most outstanding characteristic of Sifu Ip Man was that he could explain complicated theories, philosophies and concepts by using analogies in a genuinely simple and straightforward way that students could easily digest. Listening to Sifu Ip Man speak always made you feel privy to the true essence of the Wing Chun style. Although I would not say that Sifu was a very strict teacher, he did expect his students to train diligently and do their own research with common sense after receiving his instruction. He encouraged his students to try it out themselves, rather than to simply believe what he taught as true. I recall Sifu Ip Man being keener on sharing his knowledge of the art to those who diligently followed his advice."
