Leung Bik (born Leung Bik-wo with the courtesy name Tai-wah; 1845 – 1911), also known as Mr. Bik (先生璧), was a Wing Chun martial artist. He was one of Ip Man's teachers.

History

He was born in Foshan in 1845 as the second of the nine sons of Leung Jan and his second wife with the surname of Cheng (鄭).

At the young age he practiced Wing Chun under his father and grand-teacher Wong Wah-bo (黃華寶). By then, Leung Bik's Wing Chun skill sets were in its completed forms, which three forms includes Mu ren zhuang, Eight-cut knifes and Six-and-a-Half Point Pole, as well as Qigong.

Due to the political situation in the late Qing Dynasty, Leung left Foshan for Hong Kong, where he made a living running a silk and satin business at Cha Wai Street (乍畏街) (present day Jervois Street) in Sheung Wan.

In 1909, Leung was introduced to Ip Man and was challenged by him, whom Leung defeated him twice. Praised by the young man's skill, Leung trained Ip until his death in 1911.[1][2]

In the 2007 television series Wing Chun, he was portrayed by Nicholas Tse.

In the 2010 film The Legend Is Born: Ip Man, he was portrayed by Ip Chun, the eldest son of Ip Man.

In the 2013 television series Ip Man, he was portrayed by Bruce Leung.
