Thanks to his friend Zhou, the wounded lp Man and his wife
escaped from his occupied hometown of Foshan.
Hong Kong, 1950 Here we are, Brother Ip.
Sorry for all the hassle.
Not at all. We're from the same village.
It's only been empty for a few months.
I talked to the neighbors. They're very nice.
Thanks so much, Kan.
Let's see if it's suitable for your martial arts club.
It's pretty spacious. Is it big enough?
Oh, yes.
It's very spacious.
Day 8
Master lp.
You haven't recruited any pupils today?
What's the matter, Auntie?
You've got so much space.
Can I dry my clothes here?
Please go ahead.
Wing Sing!
I told you to leave the heavy stuff to me!
You're pregnant! You shouldn't do that!
There'd be no more water if I'd waited for you.
Next time I'll come sooner, all right?
I told you not to exhaust yourself.
Are you all right? Feeling better?
Mom, I need to pay my school fees in two days.
Wait.
Who is it?
Time to pay your rent! Mr. Ip! Mrs. Ip!
I don't have the cash. Don't open the door!
Mr. Ip! Mrs. Ip!
Day 9
No pupils yet today, Master Ip?
I'll dry my clothes then.
Auntie.
Let me help you.
You help me?
It's no big deal.
Thanks.
Hello!
You teach Wing Chun?
Master! Someone wants to learn martial arts!
You want to learn martial arts?
Maybe. Just checking it out.
I don't know what Wing Chun is.
Let me give you an introduction.
As a matter of fact, Wing Chun...
is a close combat style from the South...
No need to tell me all this.
Let's just fight. I'll pay you school fees if I lose.
OK.
I'm Ip Man of Wing Chun.
$0?
You haven't beaten me yet.
Are you ready to accept defeat?
Ready for what?
I've no idea what you're doing.
Do you have an idea now?
Master lp, I never knew you were so good!
Incredible!
Young man, hurry and accept him as your master!
You can pay me the school fees now, right?
Why are you leaving, young man?
What to do now, Master Ip?
You finally get a potential pupil,
and now he's gone!
That's him.
Can this old man be any good at martial arts?
Are you kidding me?
He looks totally harmless.
He actually resembles a laundry man.
You're not really here to learn martial arts.
Go away!
OK! We're challenging you to a fight!
No need to take those off.
What are you talking about?
Nothing.
"Asking Hand."
I told you not to take your clothes off.
Master!
Please accept me, Wong Leung, as your pupil!
In that case...
Master!
I'm Tsui Sai-cheung.
Ngai Kwok-hing. Wong Kwun.
Please accept us as your pupils!
I'm his first pupil. You call me Big Bro.
Pour some tea for the Master.
Forget the ceremony!
Pay your school fees first.
Wing Chun combines defense and attack.
You attack and fight
to beat your opponent as quickly as possible.
Look! This is "Dispersing Hand."
"Dispersing Hand."
Simultaneous defense and attack.
Got it?
Who is Master Ip?
Master!
Leung! Did you get them to come?
Master, can you beat ten men at the same time?
It's better not to fight.
Continue your practice.
But what if ten men come with weapons?
Run.
You should collect school fees from them.
I know.
You always say that.
I'll collect from them later.
Everyone, stop for a minute.
What's the matter?
Master.
It's time to pay your school fees.
What is it?
Time to pay your school fees.
Whoever has cash can pay me first.
Master...
Master, I can only pay 2 dollars today.
My mom is... short of cash.
I'll pay the rest next time.
Next time, then...
Master, I don't have enough.
Next time, then!
Go home and eat!
Thank you, Master!
There's so little! What should we do?
I can't help it.
You know the economy is bad.
When my pupils ask me to help out,
as their master, I can only agree.
We'd better ask the landlady to give us more time.
Sure, ask her for more time.
I accommodate you, you accommodate me.
Everything will be ok.
Excuse me, two pieces of cake, please.
You want an egg tart?
No thanks.
Don't run!
Stop!
Don't run!
Stop!
You dare to steal a roast duck?
You asshole!
Stop eating! Give it back to me!
Stop beating him...
Pay UP!
I don't have the money.
I'll call the cops if you don't pay up.
No, please let him go.
Give me! No!
Stop it! Stop it!
Stop beating him! What's the matter?
He stole our roast duck!
I'll pay for it!
Give it back! I'll pay for it.
Let's go.
Quan?
Uncle Man, I know where he's going.
Take me to him!
He's here.
Quan.
He doesn't remember you, Uncle Man.
The Japanese put a bullet in his head.
He can't recognize who you are.
Quan.
Quan, I'm lp Man.
Quan?
Scram, you Jap! Quan...
Scram, you Jap! Scram! Quan, I'm lp Man!
Scram! Scram!
Let's go, Uncle Man.
This is my fault.
It's not your fault, Uncle Man. It's my fault.
Let's go.
He'd rather be homeless than come with me.
So I stay here to keep him company.
When I can find some work at a restaurant,
I bring him leftovers to eat.
Otherwise, he would go hungry
Don't worry, Yau.
We'll take care of your dad together.
I'll employ anyone recommended by lp.
If you'll write for me for half normal wages,
you can start right away.
No problem.
Sit. I'll find someone to give you some work.
Please stay, lp.
Let's have some tea.
Thank you!
You're welcome. Take a seat.
All right.
Thank you, Uncle Man.
You'd better work hard, Yau!
I Will.
"World Boxing Championship Tournament in Hong Kong"
"Learn Wing Chun Kung Fu"
Wanna learn Wing Chun? I'll take you there later.
I practice Hung Kuen style!
Learn? From you?
Then why did you tear down my sign?
I don't care who you are.
Your sign was on top of my poster.
Want to know what Wing Chun is?
You want me to beat you up?
One on one. I'm not going to bully you.
You guys don't interfere.
OK!
And no eyes or throat!
Cut the bullshit. I'm in a hurry.
Do you accept defeat?
No!
No?
Do you accept defeat?
The Dipersing Hands should stay in the center.
Relax.
Relax more.
Who is lp Man?
What's the matter?
Your pupil Wong Leung has injured our man.
He's in our hands.
Go pay your ransom at the fish market, Lee Hung Kee.
L_Gt'S
LEE HUNG KEE
Kei!
You are his master?
Correct.
Mr...
I'm sure this is just a misunderstanding.
Let's talk.
Can you release my pupil first?
Release him!
Leung, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Why did you injure him?
He wanted to fight, but wasn't as good as me.
I couldn't really help it, could I?
What did you say? I'm not as good as you?
Take it easy!
You're both young men.
Injuries are inevitable in friendly fights.
I'll visit your master and explain to him.
May I know who your master is?
Doesn't matter. He's better than you anyway.
By the way, did you bring the ransom?
No.
Take it easy.
Beat him up!
Master! Watch your back!
Take him down!
Master!
Come!
Leung!
Master! I'm here!
You really can fight ten men at once.
Wait till we have escaped first.
Follow me closely.
Follow me closely!
Leung, let's go.
Go!
Jin Shanzhau?
Don't move!
What are you doing?
Master lp,
you guys go!
Thank you!
Screw you!
What's going on?
Master!
Are you causing trouble again?
No, Master!
We were fighting...
and he brought his Master.
Jin Shanzhau!
You think you're in charge here?
Not at all.
Mr. Hung, let's talk.
You're armed and you want to talk?
It's not that.
This asshole stirred things up on my turf.
That's why I...
What turf?
This road is mine, so is that piece of dump.
Come, say it again.
Whose turf is this?
It's all Mr. Hung's!
Get lost! You have no business here!
Which school are you from?
How are you, Mr. Hung?
I'm Ip Man...
from Foshan Wing Chun.
Here's what happened.
Your pupil and mine had a friendly fight.
My pupil was too strong and injured yours,
but he...
You mean Wing Chun is better than Hung Kuen?
I didn't mean that, Master Hung. I didn't mean that, Master Hung.
Who permitted you to teach martial arts?
Do you know the rules?
I really don't know the rules.
You don't know? Let me tell you then.
You are to be open to anyone's challenge.
If you aren't beaten when the incense burns out,
then you are qualified to teach.
These are the rules of the martial arts clubs.
You got it now?
Cut the speech.
Martial clubs have rules, so do police stations.
I'm arresting you for inflicting injuries to others.
One, two.
Cuff these two bums and take them back.
I have another pair here. Take him too.
Me?
Master!
Go!
Get your stuff, the foreigner is waiting.
Sir!
We've sold a lot of ticket.
It's selling very well, no problem.
He wants to know about manpower and security.
All taken care of. No problem.
What will be my cut from this competition?
Leave us, please.
Let me handle it. I know how to negotiate.
How much should we give him, boss?
You tell me. I'll tell Master Hung.
Don't worry. The cops are just showing off.
Everything will be fine once we make bail.
Master Jin, so sorry to have involved you today.
So sorry to have involved you today.
Wait.
This ear has been deaf since you hit it last year.
What did you say?
I said, so sorry to have involved you today.
That's all right.
If you hadn't hit me with a rod at the cotton mill that year,
who knows what I'd be doing now.
Police! Open up!
Open Up!
What's the matter?
May I speak to lp Man's family?
I am his wife.
Your husband's been arrested for injuring others.
Please bail him out as soon as possible.
Mr. Leung?
Mr. Leung!
What is it?
You have to save my husband.
I don't have the cash to bail him out.
Wait for me.
It's a pain in the ass to open a martial arts club here!
Too many schools, masters, and rules.
And then there's this Mr. Hung.
He has too many men and too much money!
So what? You wait and see.
I'll have my revenge.
When I'm out, I'll smash his fish stalls
and poison all his fish.
Don't you see...
you sound exactly like them?
Kid!
You were quite fierce when you fought.
Who's the kid?
What make you think I'm a kid? Leung!
Watch your attitude!
Master Jin is your senior.
That's OK. He's a young man after all.
Look at him. He's just like me in the old days.
If you want him to be good, find him a wife.
Like me,
a family, with wife and kids
will make one down to earth.
I want to bail my husband out.
Who's your husband?
Ip Man.
Do you have the money with you?
Yes.
Ip Man.
You can go now.
Hurry UP!
I'm here to bail out Jin Shanzhau.
Honey!
Brother, open the door for me, please.
Hurry UP!
My wife.
Leung,
is someone going to bail you out?
No.
Don't worry, Master.
They'll release me in a few days.
Go first. Go.
I won't see you off.
Kan,
I need to bother you again.
I want to bail my pupil out.
Is that all right with you?
Brother Man, I... don't have enough money.
Master Ip!
Wait, Master Ip!
Honey, do you have cash?
What do you need cash for?
It's an emergency.
You always say that. No!
Help me, Honey!
Come on...
Last time!
You're the best, Mommy...
Take the cash, Master lp.
I'll pay you back as soon as I can. Thank you.
Don't worry!
It's such a pain to open a martial arts club here,
let's forget about it.
I'm just going to visit the other masters.
No big deal.
I don't want to worry about you, like before.
We went through so much during the war.
There's nothing else to worry about, right?
So don't worry.
You had a hard day.
Go to bed now.
I've fought in similar arenas many times before.
But it wasn't stools underneath.
It was all knives!
Ip Man.
Have you heard of him before?
The name sounds so lame.
No, I haven't.
Who can be better than Master Law?
You're being modest, Master Cheng.
Are you going to go up?
If you'll go, I'll go.
Let's stop talking
and have some tea.
Thanks.
Master.
He has arrived.
Masters...
this is lp Man.
He wants to teach martial arts in Hong Kong.
So here he is, to welcome your challenge.
Ip Man.
If you surrender or fall off the desk, you lose.
If you can stay put until the incense burns out,
I'll call you Master lp.
If there are no questions, let's start.
No way, walking up like that?
No style at all.
Hello, masters! I'm lp Man...
of Foshan Wing Chun, pupil of Chen Huashun.
I'm honored to meet you!
Which master wants to play?
Master Law, what are you waiting for?
Let's see who wants to go first.
OK, I'll go first.
Please!
Be careful, brother!
Master Law, are you all right?
I'm fine.
Master...
If it were knives, it would have been death.
One shouldn't fight like that.
Go away!
That desk is very slippery.
Thank you for letting me win!
Come on! Don't let it stop!
Master Cheng, your turn.
Please!
Master Cheng, going up.
Go.
Master Cheng, the desk is very slippery.
Please!
Good!
Thanks for sparing me.
Thanks for letting me win.
Who else is interested?
Please!
Master Ip!
Master Hung!
Welcome to the martial arts society.
Don't forget to pay your monthly fees.
What monthly fees?
It's a rule. Everyone has to pay.
$100 a month. It saves all sorts of trouble.
If anyone still thinks I'm not qualified,
I'm ready to accept more challenges.
But if it's only to satisfy your personal gain,
I cannot accept it.
It's up to you.
Don't look me up when you have trouble.
You can leave now.
Medicine.
Master, medicine.
You wanna die? Drawing on my newspaper?
I just want the readers to know the content better.
Has the response been bad?
Everyone in Hong Kong is talking about Wing Chun vs Hung Kuen
That's awesome!
Keep writing in this style.
My paper depends on you.
Get to work.
Awesome, Yau!
Incredible!
WING CHUN VS HUNG KUEN: NO CLEAR WINNER
Don't do your homework. Eat first.
Let's eat.
Please give me some congee, Honey.
You've been eating less lately. Come and eat.
Eat.
Where are you going?
Can't you see?
I'm going upstairs to wash the tablecloth.
You're really going to wash the tablecloth?
Of course, why else this big bowl?
You think I'm washing my hair?
151;A152
Where are you going?
To learn Wing Chun.
Wing Chun? There's nothing here!
Not according to the newspaper.
Nothing! Scram!
You better learn Hung Kuen.
These scumbags won't let others learn Wing Chun!
I dare you to come down!
What are you doing?
Didn't you hear? Come down!
Come down if you have guts!
Come down if you dare!
Are you crazy?
You wanna die?
NO guts?
They want to learn Wing Chun.
What are you doing?
Beat him up!
They're coming down!
Get your weapons. Hurry up!
Come out!
This has badly affected the neighborhood.
I understand.
We've decided to cancel your lease.
I understand.
I'm sorry.
Sorry, but I have to go.
Farewell.
Bye, Kan.
Master.
I guess you know already?
We can't practice here any more.
Master, it's not our fault.
They started it!
They provoked us to go down.
Let's go and reason with the landlord!
Good!
Master...
Tidy up the place before you go.
Move the wooden stakes to my apartment.
Master...
Kei.
Everyone's been working hard for the boxing match.
Share this with everyone.
Thank you, Master!
For you
Thanks.
Thanks for your hard work.
How dare you come here?
I'm here for your master.
Kei.
Take a break.
What is it?
Trouble at the martial arts club?
I'm here to tell you though I've lost my club,
I will continue to teach martial arts.
And I'm not going to pay a penny to you!
Don't harass my pupils
or cause any more trouble!
It's you who's causing me trouble now!
You don't follow the rules!
Without me as the go-between with the foreigners,
how can martial arts clubs exist here in peace?
You chose to compromise with the foreigners!
Ip Man,
you only care about yourself.
You don't have 200 men to feed.
You can ignore the foreigners and play noble!
I know how you feel.
We're all trying to survive.
But as masters, we should teach our pupils well.
My conscience is clear!
At any rate...
if you have a problem, come to me directly!
So long!
Stand there!
You think you can leave just like this?
Well, what do you want?
We were not done last time. Let's carry on.
Be careful!
Honey, we've been waiting here quite a while.
The kids are hungry.
Are you guys done with your discussion?
Master Hung,
is it more important to win
than to have dinner with your family?
What do you want to eat?
We want ice cream!
I'll buy you ice cream after dinner.
I won't keep you any more, Master Hung.
Farewell.
Master.
Come in.
Put them there.
Come, put them there.
Why did you bring the wooden stakes back?
They've rented the rooftop to someone else.
So I'm storing them here for the time being.
OK, go home and rest.
Come here to practice tomorrow morning.
Come here to practice?
Yes! Come earlier tomorrow.
Goodbye, Master.
Master,
can I have a word with you?
Leung, have a cup of tea first.
Come.
Have a seat.
Master, my impulsiveness
has cost you your club.
I'm sorry.
Come.
Get up. Come.
Get up.
Sit down and we'll talk. Come.
Leung,
how is my kung fu?
It's great, of course.
You can beat so many people all by yourself.
What about twenty years later?
In twenty years, you'll beat me easily.
Everyone gets old.
No one can be #1 forever.
Leung, you have great potential
for martial arts.
But you only focus on... techniques.
I want you to learn Chinese martial arts,
because they incorporate the Chinese spirit
as well as self-cultivation.
It's important to be neutral, striving not to strive.
Do you understand?
I'm thinking.
You want to hear a story?
The guy from the fish market, Master Jin?
Once upon a time...
I whipped his ass with a broomstick.
He came to my house in Foshan to challenge me to a duel.
And he started breaking everything, making my wife really mad.
Look, martial arts!
Yes.
Go play over there, kids.
Let's go.
Master!
Carry on!
What a coincidence.
I just happened to pass by.
What do you want, Master Hung?
I have extra tickets.
You want to go?
It's western boxing.
Goodbye.
Master Hung.
Your eyes are red.. Are you OK?
They've been like that since I woke up.
Perhaps it's the heat. I'll drink some cool tea.
This isn't a bad place to teach martial arts.
Move them over here in three rows.
And three rows over there as well.
Hurry UP-
Master Hung, come say hi.
I'll introduce you to the boxing champion.
Mr. Twister.
He's Chinese kung-fu master, Master Hung.
How are you?
The foreigner is throwing things. Ignore him.
How was your talk with the foreigner?
When are we getting our money?
He glared whenever I mentioned money.
It isn't going anywhere.
He wants you to work for free this time.
For free?
We closed our fish stalls to work here.
Don't get mad.
We can't afford to piss him off.
Just treat this as a diet and lose some weight.
This isn't the first time.
Master Hung.
Sir.
I've heard your request,
but my men need to eat, so you better pay.
Don't discuss money with me now.
What else can I discuss with you? Love?
Come!
Stop it. The foreigner devil is pissed off.
If he doesn't pay, we'll just quit!
If you quit, he'll take away your fish stalls.
Just be quiet.
No way!
I've tolerated him for too long!
Are you speaking the Devil's tongue?
I can't hear the Devil's squeal. Let's go!
We're quitting. Let's go.
L_Gt'S
Wait!
Look, many men depend on you.
Stay and work.
Come, let's go!
Don't be mad. Let's wait and see
how that asshole ends up.
Master lp. Master Hung.
Thank you for the tickets.
All the schools are doing demonstrations.
Ask your pupils to demonstrate their kung fu
so more people will know about Wing Chun.
Sure.
I won't keep you.
Go get ready.
You go too, both of you.
Go up and demonstrate "Shaking Hands."
Together.
It all works out.
Suffer some losses to publicize martial arts.
Western Boxing versus Chinese Kung Fu!
Thank you! Thank you...
Bloody Foreign Devil!
The Champion said Chinese Kung-fu was useless.
Go back to dancing.
Stop beating him! Stop it!
Carry him out!
Stop fighting!
Stop fighting! Stop it!
What should we do?
Relax Fatso! Enjoy the show!
Stop fighting! Stop it!
Stop fighting!
Back off!
Everybody, stop it!
Stop it! Stop fighting!
Leung...
Master
Carry him down first.
Help me, Cham.
Slowly...slowly...
Excuse me...
Slowly!
Let us pass!
Master of Ceremony! Come here!
We were demonstrating Chinese martial arts.
If you didn't like it, you could have left.
But you should apologize for insulting us!
He said, if Master Hung can beat him,
then he'll apologize.
Let me fight with him!
I'll beat him till he apologizes to me!
Slay that foreign devil!
Masters, let me handle this.
Please get down for the moment.
OK! Let's go!
Fight!
Good!
Right! Fight like that!
Master lp. Leung is all right. He's resting inside.
Thanks!
Master Hung!
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
In the next round, Master Hung,
instead of trading punches, test his ribcage.
It's not that easy.
Kick the foreign devil down!
Shit! Master is out of breath.
Master, sit down and rest a bit.
Stop fighting, Master Hung!
I can't let that foreign devil insult us.
Don't get hurt for your ego!
I can abide in order to survive,
but I won't let him insult Chinese martial arts!
Master! Master...
Master!
Master... Let go!
Master...
Master Hung,
you're my most respected master.
HUNG KUEN GRANDMASTER DIES IN WESTERN BOXING MATCH
GRANDMASTER HUNG DIED FOR HIS COUNTRY
WESTERN BOXING CHAMPION WAS A BULLY
Sit tight!
None of your business. Sit down.
Who's the editor-in-chief?
What's the matter?
Take him in.
No...
Sir...
It's not wise to beat him like that.
He will write a scathing report on us.
We need to get rid of him.
I know what to do. Let me handle it.
Fatso! You take care of him!
OK.
We don't burn incense just to keep time.
What's really important
about the Chinese tradition of incense burning
is that it represents the modesty
which is inherent to the Chinese culture.
Mr. Miller
I'm challenging you to a fight!
Zhun, hurry up.
Don't let the landlady wait too long.
I'll take you there in a moment.
Mom, why are we staying with the landlady?
Dad's practice will affect your new brother.
Please, let me.
I'm so sorry for the hassle, landlady.
Don't worry. Come. Thanks.
Let Zhun carry the small one.
Zhun. Let Zhun carry this.
Mr. lp, you must defeat the foreign devil.
I'll carry it up first.
Don't worry and practice well.
But don't practice too late.
You have to win.
We have to go.
Go back.
I live by myself.
Make yourselves at home.
You can sleep here.
Don't be scared. Keep writing.
Keep writing! I'll still publish it tomorrow!
What's the matter?
Cops!
What are you writing?
Still writing?
You're not afraid to die?
"Undaunted by Western Boxer, Wing Chun Expert
Enters Chinese-Western Boxing Competition!"
Is that all?
Why not "Western Dog Will be Demolished"?
"Defend news with blood, expose truth with conscience."
You have conscience, but do you have the truth?
I do!
You got the guts? I'll tell you everything!
We'll ruin him!
Good! -Come.
This foreign devil
detests and despises the Chinese.
I'll give you the goods, you report them.
I guarantee he'll be done for.
What's the matter?
Mrs. Ip, what's the matter?
You're in labor!
Zhun, call your dad right away!
Wait, Zhun!
Don't distract him.
I'll ask the midwife to come, then.
Zhun, watch over your mom.
The Chinese-Western Boxing Match is about to commence!
The hall is packed with locals and expats.
It's bustling with excitement.
There are both Chinese and Western umpires.
I believe the match will be fair, just and open.
Ladies and gentlemen, do not leave your radio!
Ip Man, knock him down in 3 punches.
No, knock the foreign devil down in 2 punches!
Master lp, your opponent is a boxing champion.
Are you convinced your Wing Chun will prevail?
Master lp, all Hong Kong citizens are behind you.
Master lp, are you fighting for yourself...
or in defense of Chinese martial arts?
Ladies and gentlemen...
The long-awaited Chinese-Western boxing match
is about to begin!
Let's welcome the boxing champion, Twister!
Twister has come on stage.
Ip Man is eager to knock him down.
Master.
I want a clean fight.
When I say "fight", fight.
When I say "break", break.
You have to follow my instructions at all time, is that clear?
Master lp, punch him like you punched me!
It's too easy to punch you.
What did you say?
They keep testing each other.
Master!
Master lp was knocked down! The umpire's counting!
Master!
Get up! Master lp!
Looks like this punch was too strong. Can Master lp stand up?
Master lp is ok! He's up!
Good!
Master lp has knocked Twister down!
Master! Good fight!
The foreign devil has stamina.
He's endured many of the Master's punches.
Master lp is attacking with a volley of punches!
Master Ip! Master lp...
Master!
Foreign devil! Still hitting after the bell?
That's unfair! He hit after time was up!
Master! Master...
According to the decision by the judges,

test his ribcage.
It's not that easy.

Hello!
By fighting this match,
I'm not trying to prove Chinese martial arts
is better than Western boxing.
What I really want to say is...
though people may have different status in life,
everybody's dignity is the same.
I hope that from this moment on,
we can start to respect each other.
That's all. Thank you.
Master Ip! Master lp...
What would you want to do most right now?
I want to go home.
He takes after you.
Name him.
How about lp Ching?
I want him to become a righteous man.
Good!
He looks just like you!
Congratulations, Master lp! You won!
Uncle Man, I just made a new friend.
He wants to learn kung fu, so I brought him.
Come in.
How much to learn martial arts from you?
What's your name?
Bruce Lee!
Why do you want to learn martial arts?
I wanna beat up people I don't like!
How presumptuous.
Come back when you've grown up.
In 1956
16 year-old Bruce Lee became lp Man's pupil.
Bruce Lee was deeply inspired by Master Ip
and based his martial arts on Wing Chun theories.
In 22 years' time, lp Man had spread Wing Chun all over the world,
helping Chinese martial arts to flourish everywhere.
