I don't think Yip Man gave sashes.
Wing Chun doesn't teach set patterns, it teaches FRAME. It's a developing idea, hence Sui Nim Tao- little idea way; from little ideas great things come. The system develops with Chum Kui- Bridge Seeking and adds motion to the correct frame. Bruce never learned the third form- Thursting Fingers, but if you know anything of that part of our art you will know that 'Way of the Intercepting Fist' is a pretty darn good interpretation of what's going on there!
