Ip Man Wing Chun Forms

The humble student never stops learning, there is always more to learn and time to practice, even the longest practicing Sifus will still practice the first form daily and can learn new techniques by observing or training others.

Practice at least 1 hour every day — Grandmaster Samuel Kwok.
