After Ip Man's death in 1972, Ip Ching left the training hall but continued to reside in his father's home. He later ran a manufacturing business in Lam Tei, New Territories, and continued to teach Wing Chun privately to his disciples in his home.
In 1994, he retired and devoted himself to full-time teaching in Wing Chun.
He served as a Wing Chun consultant alongside his brother Chun in Ip Man 3.
