I think there's a story about him beating a white kid from a rival private school in a boxing match

certainly unreliable reports of him doing well in informal rooftop bouts amongst the various Wing Chun students in Hong Kong

there are also stories of him getting his ass kicked by William Chung and Wong Shun Leung (others of Yp Man's students) and being a petty little bitch and getting kicked out of Yp Man's school

Who knows. It's all apocrypha at this point

> It's all apocrypha at this point

There are still people alive who witnessed these events first hand. I don't think first-hand accounts should be labeled apocrypha. But... maybe it means you doubt them? Fair enough.

		It’s difficult to establish veracity of any of these accounts. Some of them are real, some aren’t, but the two are mostly indistinguishable. Is apocrypha a reasonable word to use for that?
