Default Ip Man

When Bruce Lee first started out, he learned martial arts from one of the best. His sifu (master) was a man named Ip Man (or Yip Man), who was a practitioner and grand master of the Wing Chun martial art. He was the first to openly teach Wing Chun and brought the martial art to international attention.



Now there is a movie based on this man. It stars Donnie Yen, who in my mind is perfect for this role.



I am utterly amazed and blown away by how awesome this movie is. This isn't a movie only about martial arts, but about a family man who, against all odds, struggled to keep his family together during the japanese occupation of China.

He is a loving husband, a caring father, a good friend, but make no mistake, he is also the original fist of fury.

You'll see where Bruce Lee gets a lot of his ideas from.



Go see it! Try to find it in Chinatown (if you can avoid getting shot).
