Leung Ting chose the spelling of Wing Tsun to differentiate his teachings from those of other Wing Chun schools, and to keep them from passing off their style as his own.

Some of Yip Man's students have disputed whether Leung Ting could be considered a closed door disciple of Yip Man, some going as far as to question whether Leung ever studied directly under Ip Man, including William Cheung and most notably including Ip Chun, Ip Man's eldest son and co-author of the book written with Leung Ting, 116 Wing Tsun Dummy Techniques.

Leung Ting publicly threatened to initiate a defamation claim against Ip Chun if an apology and withdrawal of accusations was not received.

The controversy had been in part fuelled by past allegations that a photo Leung Ting presented showing him with Yip Man was altered from a photograph that shows Yip Man with the chief editor of the New Martial Hero magazine.

Lip testified that Leung Ting hit her after a heated argument involving Leung Ting's ex-wife.
