In 1937 after the invasion of China by the Japanese Empire, Ip Man's fortunes changed dramatically. The family wealth was confiscated and Ip Man was forced to find jobs to support himself. Because of his fame, not only for skill but for his honor and honesty, Ip Man offered the post of chief of police in Foshan.

One example that he gave was when he taught a hairdresser, because of his work that feels very hard to keep together, he spends his whole life with his elbows out. So, rather than trying to remedy this, he taught his techniques to compensate for a bad elbow position.It this constant adaptation and change in education has led to many disputes, after his death on "good" how to execute particular techniques.

As a result of schools jumped sharply across Europe and the Organization States.As is the traditional Chinese martial arts schools (Si Hing) are expected to play an active role in teaching their younger brothers of Kung Fu "( If Dais). The temptation to distort this a request that he leaed Kung Fu from Bruce Lee and make a lot of glory with his army of fans, have proved too much for Ip Man's students. Today, there are many indications that Bruce Lee on the instructor, but not the fact that he studied under Ip Man during his stay in Hong Kong.
