From my (admittedly poor) memory: When Ma Lee (Mary) Yang opened up her teaching, I went with and courtesy of Jim Uglow and then John Conroy also came with his family and students, Mary sent us over to Ip to talk to, train with and go through his notes to help with our understanding of her Fathers teaching. He talked about 'snake' at that time. It was decided that Bob Boyd would continue training with Ip so that all the HK journey students could share their knowledge and get the full value from what was available, bearing in mind that Jim had also trained extensively with Chu King Hung and John with Chu Gin Soon. We formed the Yang Ma Lee Student Association at that time. I ended up with extensive surgery and complications and couldn't continue with Jim after 10 years private lessons or the HK journeys after 7 visits, so I don't know what happened after that.
If you see someone without a smile - give 'em one of yours...
