Line 1:

'''Ip Chun''' (葉準 or Yip Jun 1924- ) is [[Yip Man]]'s eldest son.

'''Zander de Bruyn''' (born [[July 5]], [[1975]] in [[Johannesburg]]) is a [[South Africa]]n [[cricket]]er. He is a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler.

He had a late start in the discipline of [[Wing Chun]] though he practiced some basic skills as early as age seven.

He was instrumental in planning and starting the Hong Kong Ving Tsun Atheletic Association for his father since 1965. He had been the treasurer, board member and chairman of the board of the association.

Elegant at the crease, de Bruyn's style is much like that of the late [[Hansie Cronje]], capable also of top-quality medium-pace bowling. In [[2003]]-[[2004|04]] he became only the second player, after [[Barry Richards]], to score 1000 runs in a season, either SuperSport or Currie Cup. He joined Easterns in [[2002]], before joining with their coach [[Ray Jennings]] and playing a gigantic role in the improbable series victory against Western Province.

He started teaching Wing Chun in 1967 in accordance with his fathers wishes.

Ever since, de Bruyn has excelled, picking up his first test appearance against [[Indian cricket team|India]] in November [[2004]]. Since 2004 he has played Twenty20 cricket.

He gave seminars around the world between 1985 and [[2001]].
