Ip Man

It’s rare that a very good martial arts movie with a strong story comes along. Rarer still that the martial arts are really good to watch! They don’t make films like these anymore, until Ip Man.

This is a portrayal of a true martial artist who learnt the art of Wing Chun. It shows the light and dark side of a period where I can only imagine what it’s like. It’s set in a place where the streets are filled with martial art schools, which makes it a very competitive place for learning martial arts. It also shows the hardships during the Japanese occupation, and how, through kung fu, the spirits of people are lifted to new highs. Do watch it.

p/s: It’s pronounced Yip (as in yippee) Mun (as in Bun), and not eye-pee man…

    Sounds liek a fantastic movie! Do you know anything about release in the US? I’ve also had the opportunity to meet a few people who know Wing Chun – I hear it’s an impressive fighting style (but I haven’t had the chance to see it in action)!
