Prior to meeting Ip Man, Leung Sheung trained in many styles of kung fu including Choy Li Fut, Bak Mei, and Southern Dragon.[2] In 1950, Leung, along with Lok Yiu and Lau Ming, all members of the Kowloon Restaurant Worker's Union, were introduced to Ip Man by Lee Man.[2] As Ip Man's first Hong Kong student, Leung was the older kung fu brother of Ip Man's other students. All of whom, including Bruce Lee, showed him high respect.
