Fo Shan's citizens were well off

and practiced kung-fu as a hobby.

Martial clubs became popular, turning Fo Shan

into a province renowned for martial arts.

Martial Arts Street in Fo Shan, 1935

Another competitor

Okay, let's start practicing

Come on, ready...

One...

Two...

One... two...

Sir, a Master Liu is looking for you

May I know who you are?

I'm the patriarch of the Liu Fist Sect

I just started a martial club in Fo Shan

Congratulations

I hear that Master Ip is a Wing Chun expert

I'd love to practice with you today

Can we do it some other day?

It's not convenient right now

Since I'm already here,

let's just play around for a bit

It's all private. No one else shall know who wins

It's not a matter of winning. I'm having dinner

In that case... I'll wait for you

Master Liu

Have you eaten yet?

Please join me

You want one?

No, thanks

Is the food all right tonight?

Very good indeed

That's good

Very quick

Leave it, Uncle Wang. Close the door first

Master Liu

Please!

Please!

Are you okay?

I'm fine...

Let's start again!

Okay, here I come

Touch!

Touch!

All touch!

Thanks for being lenient, Master Liu

Thanks for teaching me. I've learnt a lot

The pleasure was all mine

Regarding this private duel, Master Ip...

I won't tell anyone. Don't worry

Thanks so much. I'm totally grateful

Goodbye

Farewell

So long

With "Move 1000 Catties with 4 Taels"

Ip pushed Master Liu's whole body away

Isn't "Move 1000 Catties with 4 Taels" Tai Chi?

I thought Master Ip practiced Wing Chun

Anyway, he pushed him away with one hand

Liu refused to admit defeat

Ip kept chasing after him fiercely!

But Liu remained indignant after being hit

He jumped at Ip like a hungry dog

These tea leaves are pretty good and cheap

Thank you

Got to go Farewell

Goodbye Goodbye, see you next time

Who put these here, Uncle Ping?

Your brother

I thought Liu was good but he's so bad at defence

and was beaten up like a pighead

He co-owns his dad's restaurant. He's always idle

Ask that kid to serve the customers

Good morning

Brother Ip!

Morning, Master Ip

Is Quan here yet?

He's waiting for you upstairs

Been here long, Quan?

You're always late

I'm busy

Busy with what?

Drinking tea, eating, practicing

What else?

This tea smells nice

I'm talking about you

Have you ordered yet?

I got something to discuss with you

Let's eat first and then we'll talk

This just came out of the oven! Try it...

Heard that you had a duel with Master Liu

and had beaten him quickly. Is that true?

Who told you that, Lin?

My brother

Should've told me earlier. I'm his disciple now!

But you've been a disciple of every master

Was the duel private, Brother Ip?

We have things to discuss. Leave us for now

Then I won't disturb your private conversation

Good!

Morning, Master! Morning

Morning

Master

Heard that you were beaten by Ip Man

Everyone in Fo Shan knows about it now

Nonsense! Who told you that?

Yuan at the restaurant

Everything is costly in Fo Shan these days

So what?

That means the economy is good in Fo Shan

Everybody can afford to spend money

Is that so?

Clothing is the most important in our daily lives

There will be lots of demand for future clothing

I'll open a cotton mill to provide cotton for them

I want you to be my partner

I don't know anything about business

But I do

I'm not in need of money

Who's Yuan? Show yourself!

I am

You rascal. You ruined my reputation

I must teach you a lesson!

Master...

He's my brother. Let's talk

Calm down. Okay, Master?

Your brother? He ruined my reputation

He said I was beaten by Ip Man

What's gonna happen to my martial club?

Who will want to be my disciples?

Apologize!

I didn't do anything wrong. I told the truth!

You're bullshitting again! You... Master...

Master Ip is upstairs. Seek him out if you have guts!

What? Go!

Take it easy, Master...

Master...

Don't be angry, Master

I've been wronged, Master Ip

Master...

Please tell everybody

you've defeated Master Liu in a duel

Master Ip...

You got to clear my name

You liar, why're you bothering Brother Ip?

I'm no liar

I saw the duel when I was picking up my kite

Your kite was cut and fell into Brother Ip's house

You saw the whole duel between the two masters

Isn't that too much of a coincidence?

That's exactly what happened

Even if it's true, you shouldn't have told everyone

You're not supposed to admit to certain things

What's wrong with admitting to the truth?

That might cause embarrassment for others

What embarrassment? I don't know so much

This is embarrassment!

You don't need to do that, Lin

Why're you laughing? You think I'm invisible?

Captain... it's no big deal

What no big deal?

Leave! Don't you leave!

Captain, it's no big deal

I saw everything. I'm warning you...

I'll nab whoever that causes trouble on my turf

I didn't cause any trouble

Someone ruined my name. I'm here to claim justice

What justice? I am justice

You hooligans are fighting all the time

What age are we in now?

Still talking about martial arts?

We're talking about arms and guns!

Guns. Got it?

You know, Captain Li...

We martial artists are energetic

Sometimes we might be a bit too loud

But that doesn't mean we're not civilized

We're civilized folks. Please don't pull the gun

Cut me some slack

Lin, set a table for Captain Li. It's on me

Yes... Captain Li, this way please

What you looking at? Get lost

Don't look Don't look... Get out of the way

Please

Master Liu

As you please

Why so secretive?

I'm really not good at business

Take this to set up the mill.

Pay me back if you make a profit

It'll be a while before I can repay you

Take your time

Another request:
Take my son as your disciple

There're so many martial club masters. Ask them

None of them is better than you

We're similar

Brother Ip

Lin

Brother Quan

I learnt some new moves. Practice with me

You got so much time. You found your brother?

Let him be

He'll come back once he spent all his money

Let's try

Dad, did Uncle Ip agree?

Let's go watch over there

You draw very well, Zhun

What new moves have you learnt? Let's see

Brother Ip, my master says

this move is offense and defense all in one

Attack while defending. Defend while attacking

Aren't they the same?

Go away, ignorant kid

Here I come

This move attacks the midrib

Stop reciting mantra. Hit your target

Mom, I'm done with my drawing

So beautiful. Show it to Dad

Hit to disperse. Disperse while hitting

My last move was "disperse while hitting"...

Dad, look

Wait. I'm not free at the moment

You don't get it? No

Come again if you don't get it

Try again

Dad doesn't want to see it

There you go What?

That was "disperse while hitting" Once more, Master Ip

couldn't see clearly

ee? What you wanna see?

You guys fight every day. Aren't you tired?

You okay, Brother Ip?

Sorry, Mrs Ip

Goodbye, Mrs Ip

I wasn't talking about you

No, there're things to take care of at the mill

Yao

I gotta go, Uncle Ip
