Please tell him to let them go

Asked you not to come! Why did you?

Tell them!

Chuodeng

He dares beat me up!

Why can't I kill him?

I know what to do

Li Chian

Yes

From the moment you resist the Japanese Army

You are already a dead man

But I saw that your skills are extraordinary,

someone I could use

That is why I am giving you one more chance

to be loyal to the Japanese Imperial Army

Teach our Imperial Army Chinese kung fu

Then, you would have half the chance of surviving

He says he admires you

wants you to teach Japanese Chinese kung fu

I won't teach Japanese!

You really like to see me fight

then I'll fight with you!

He says, he will really consider to be an instructor

He would also like to spar with General Sanpo

Bring him back

Take him away

Qin Quan, take my wife and kid, and leave Fuoshan

General, do you really want to fight with Ip Man?

Of course!

He is a highly skilled kung fu master

But, look at him

He don't want to be the instructor of the Imperial Army

He have other motives for wanting to fight with you

Please don't fight with him

Just let me put a bullet through him

He knows he is better.

That's why he wants to fight with you

If I don't accept the challenge

and kill him

then what is the difference between admitting defeat?

General fighting with a Chinese man

is not a personal concern but

It also the concern of Japan as well

Are you saying I will lose?

I am just being cautious

I will definitely win

I also want the whole of China to know

Yes, I know

I didn't kill you and

want you to be the instructor

is because I admire your skill in kung fu

but I don't think that Chinese martial arts is better than Japanese martial arts

because we will be fighting in front of all those people

That is why, this should be a fair fight

You occupied my country. Killed my country men

Take back your insults

Excuse me

Let go of my mother

Let me go! Let me go back!

I've promised Ip Man. I won't let anything happen to both of you

Going back is too dangerous

I heard that a Japanese is having a duel with a Chinese

Who is it?

Ip Man!

Look at this place, it's all sealed up

I used to hope that he accompany me everyday

That's why I reprimanded him and his martial arts practice

Every time he fights with someone

I would throw my temper

I've never really supported him

to do what he likes to do

Now, this may be his last fight

I am afraid there won't be a chance from now on

Why don't you give me that chance?

Why?

General Sanpo says, he wanted to strengthen Sino-Japanese Cultural exchange

Today, with Master Ip here, will be a fair fight

Exchange of ideas. Friendship through martial arts

To realize Sino-Japanese peace

Fair fight!? Really sounds good, huh?

Look at that traitor's face!

Sooner or later he will be killed by the Japanese

You're right!

Master Ip is coming

What did General Sanpo spoke to you about?

Talk about the fight?

I really don't care

Listen carefully!

If you win the fight

I will kill you immediately with my gun

Remember!

Yes

Please, don't win the fight with Sanpo

If you win, he will kill you

Be careful for your life. That is most important

Martial arts may be a form of brute strength

but in our Chinese martial arts system

but it includes many ideals and philosophy

Martial arts rules, which is also compassion. To help others

This is what you Japanese will never

never understand

because you use this strength

and change it into brutal power to terrorize others

That is why you are not fit to learn Chinese martial arts

Due to Ip Mans resistance to bow down to Japanese,

the people of China finally began to unite

With the help of his good friend Qin Quan,

Ip Man and his family finally escape from Fuoshan.

The Japanese announced that they are surrendering unconditionally.

The people of China have scored a victory,

in the war that had lasted 8 years.

In 1949, Master Ip Man stayed in Hong Kong,

and in Kowloon Restaurant Workers Union

he taught the first class of Wing Chun fist.

Which started a new direction for Master Ip Mans life.

Wing Chun Fist, as of today, have spread all over the world

and is one of the well known kung fu style.

Ip Mans disciples is estimated to be well over 2 million.

There are many great disciples of Wing Chun.

Among them was superstar Bruce Lee.
