I don't believe the Japanese

would make a donation

without a personal agenda

Well... after he's done business

for so long in Foshan,

this could probably be his gesture

of retuning a favor

Don't be suspicious

You're in business, too, Tin Chi.

Why don't you tell us what you think,

as a newcomer?

I tend to agree with what

Chairman Lee suggested

After all,

ourAssociation is on very sound

financial ground,

and is not urgently

in need of donations

Tin Chi, I'm going back

to the school

See you later

Try to talk Chairman Lee out of

being so stubborn, Tin Chi

Mr. Mayor, we are

all educated people

Why should we allow

the uneducated

to upset us?

You are right

Goodbye

Take care

Bye

The improved version of

Wing Chun

is the good use of'distant fist,

near elbow,

close wrestling, incorporating long

and short distance movements'

Wing Chun wrestling uses the reverse

joint principle;

no need to hold on

to your opponent

Your Master concentrated

on the long stretch

and low kick

My improved version

of Wing Chun

incorporates the short stretch

and high kick

Wing Chun should not be

described as 'authentic' or

'non-authentic' anymore

To me, Wing Chun is

one big family,

there is no distinction between

you, me, and him

Goodbye, Man Ip

Our surname goes first,

Reverend

Ip Man, all the best

Same to you, goodbye

Goodbye

Let's go

Bye!

Bye!

Goodbye!

Bye!

Thank you

Thank you

You should have told me

you were coming back, Ip Man

Mei Wai

Ip Man's back, everybody!

You brought back

so many things

Only this one is mine,

the rest are presents

for you all

We know Ip Man is good to us!

OK:

This is for you

For me?

How am I supposed

to finish all these toffees

Don't eat them all,

some are for my brother to sell

Man!

Tin Chi's back!

Brother!

There you are!

Yes!

Long time no see.

You're still stout. Keeping up

with martial arts practice?

Do you want to try me?

Sure!

Give it to me

One point for Man

Great! Another point

for you, Man!

What style is this?

Wing Chun!

The high kick doesn't exist

in Wing Chun,

where did you

pick that up?

Try me more first

OK:

Good!

One point for Tin Chi

Excellent!

Good!

Don't tell me this is

Wing Chun, Man?

This is fantastic.

Show me, Ip Man

It's wonderful!

Teach me, too

Me, too

Me first!

One at a time

Mei Wai, watch out!

Is this necessary, Man?

I'm all right.

Take it easy next time

Take a rest, Mei Wai

Let's learn it together

To reward your enthusiasm.

Come on!

Alright?

Amazing!

This focuses on the reverse

joint principle

It's a different approach

like Japanese Judo,

there's no need to hold on

to your opponent

It's amazing!

I want to learn, too

Me, too

Count me in

Brother Chung So

Brother Chung So

Let me help you

Such a fat chicken,

let me take care of it

Remember what Master Chan

said to you, Man?

Time to go home

Let's go!

I ask you

Whose style is authentic,

our Master Chan's or

Leung Bik's?

Leung Bik?

Brother Chung So,

Mr Leung and our Master are

from the same school;

his style shouldn't be considered

deviant from authenticity

Also, Leung Bik is Grand

Master Leung Jan's son;

he practiced with him

since he was a child

But he never got along

with the Grand Master,

nor with his brothers.

Leung Bik is conceited

Perhaps... he held

different views

Despite a difference

in views,

he shouldn't have created

tension in the family

I remember after the Grand

Master passed away,

Bik's brother immendiately

put up a wall...

to partition the two families;

you can see how badly he was

received by the others

He's a bit strange,

but we can't assume that

his art is not competent

People often thought that Wing Chun

seldom uses wrestling moves

But he believes that by applying

the targeted finger style

or darting hand movements,

opponents can be overpowered

I've tried it and

it's very effective.

Comparing Bik's with the tradional moves,

his allow more flexibility

Let me tell you, the Wing Chun

Leung Bik has learned...

only accounts for a fraction

of his father's.

Most of his movements

are made up

How can one improve without

deconstructing the old?

You are greedy to aspire

for more before

you can manage the basic

Wing Chun principles

You'll end up

gaining nothing.

I'm fed up.

Enjoy your meal

Don't get upset,

Brother Chung So

Man just got back,

give him a chance!

Fine! He has his chance now

Show me the sort of deviance

you've picked up.

Get up, up!

Brother Chung So!

Brother Chung So!

Ip Man

Brother Chung So!

Stay away!

What happened to the things

Leung Bik taught you?

Brother Chung So!

Man!

Ip man should be feeling

sorry by now

Brother Chung So,

that's enough!

Was it Wing Chun that

he just demonstrated?

Does our school have

high kick like that?

Or elbow as low as his?

Now, I demand you all go on your knees

in front of our master and vow that...

you will never again learn anything that

deviates from our school tradition

They have nothing

to do with this,

Brother Chung So

It was me who wanted to try things out.

They never said they wanted

to learn it from me.

I'm the only one who deserves

punishment for this

I have taught you

all I know, Man

Thank you, Master!

Stop calling me master

Why?

Your master is Chan Wah Shun;

you have to show due respect

When I was young,

I was too emotional to try to

think from another's perspective

And my family

was too conservative

to accept my innovative

ideas,

thus causing a lot of

misunderstanding and friction

In order to aviod conflict,

I decided to leave Foshan

Ip Man is gifted,

but he's such an ungrateful brat

Do you think

I should expel him?

Please give me instruction,

Master

If you think I should,

please show 'the head'

when I toss the coin

Master, Ip Man is young

and restless;

he's doomed to make

some mistakes

And... perhaps it's not entirely

his fault.

I might not be competent

enough as an instructor

Why don't we do it three times

to decide on the result?

Thanks, Master

Thanks, Master,

thanks a great deal

You are...

We heard that your Association has

a reputation for the vision of

promoting martial arts on the grounds

of abolishing segregation of schools

So we're here to join

the Association

I'm glad that you share

the same vision.

How may I address you?

Before we enroll,

I'd like to see whether the

Association is qualified to teach us

I don't quite understand

what you mean

You need to show a sample

when you sell goods.

So we'd like to check out how competent

the masters are first

This is not how our

Association operates.

Don't make things

difficult

All right, then.

If you don't want to demonstate,

we'll be happy to take over

You just came to

create trouble

Hold it!

Wait a minute!

Father

Chairman Kitano,

what do you want

from us?

Not much, I only

want to say hello

I don't think so,

it's more like picking a fight

This is a place to learn

martial arts;
