A16: Yes, Wing Chun was the martial arts system Bruce Lee studied during his time in Hong Kong. Bruce Lee was taught by Grandmaster Yip Man. Grandmaster Yip Man was also Moy Yat’s sifu (teacher). From what I understand, Grandmaster Moy Yat was actually Bruce Lee’s kung fu big brother (sihing). Many of the Wing Chun drills and principles helped Lee to develop his personal martial-arts system of Jeet Kune Do.
