I am constantly looking for opportunities to spread his message and keep his legacy alive and in front of today's generations. I know to a lot of people it looks like blatant consumerism but now that I have the opportunity to be able to control the messaging (which wasn't always the case), I work very hard to do things that I feel are of quality and that my father would appreciate. My father himself was very success oriented and I think he would be happy to know that he is still remembered and inspiring people who weren't even born when he was alive!

I think that a lot of people think he as arrogant. But he was just confident and self assured and (by the way) extremely knowledgeable and accomplished. He was also extremely caring - he liked to help people out as much as he could. I also think that people don't realize the depth of who he was as a writer, creator, thinker, and innovator. He was an amazing man. It's what I want people to understand......thanks for asking :)

I did! I think it's awesome! He is so cute telling that story. I know Jackie (not well) and he has always been very kind and gracious to me and to my my father's memory.

My father didn't but my mom did. She told me my father truly loved and respected Yip Man (that's how my father spelled his name). He was loyal to him as his only teacher and all throughout his life, he always kept his wing chun skills and basics honed even though his own martial journey evolved. My father was thrilled to be able to introduce my brother to Yip Man and visited him everytime he came back to HK before Yip Man's passing. He truly thought of him as a father figure and was grateful to him for the philosophical thinking he instilled in him at such a young age.
