But the young Yip Man was a very harsh and unyielding desire, though rejected many times, Yip Man remains unyielding.
To test the willingness and sincerity Yip Man, Master Chan said it would accept a student if he is able to pay the exercise of three taels of silver. The next day, Yip Man is coming to bring all his savings, amounting to 300 pieces of silver! Master Yip Man Chan saw that has the desire and determination to learn powerful martial arts Wing Chun.
