In 1972, after having passed along his Wing Chun to thousands of students, and seeing the art spread around the globe, Grandmaster Yip Man passed away as a result of complications from throat cancer.

Although at times politics, rivalry, controversy, and some infamy have surrounded Yip Man’s art, the style itself has made great strides forward. It is hoped that remaining differences will be resolved and that the Yip Man family will continue on in harmony, proudly claiming its place as one of the most popular forms of Chinese martial arts practiced around the world.
