Based on a true story.
Kwangtung, Fuoshan. The renowned capital of Chinese martial arts.
1935 - Fuoshan, Dojo Street.
Looks like another rival school is here to try and snatch our rice bowls!
Okay, begin!

Young Master, someone is here to see you.
Hello. You are?
I am Master Liao of the Liao's Fist school.
I have just opened a dojo in this town.
Congratulations.
I heard that your Wing Chun style is very good.
I came here for a demonstration and to exchange techniques.
Could we possibly do this another day?
Now is not the best time.
Well since I'm already here...
maybe just some quick sparring? Nothing serious.
We can close the doors. Win or lose, nobody will know.
It's not about that... We were just about to have dinner.
I'd be happy to wait.
Master Liao, have you eaten?
Come, join us.
Cigarette?
Oh, no thanks.
How was your meal?
Great, great.
That's good.
I'll be very quick.
Uncle Wang, leave the table. Would you mind closing the doors?
Shall we...
Ready?
Ready.
You okay?
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Let's continue.
OK then.
Thank's for the demonstration, Master Liao.
Thanks for that, I've learnt a lot. Me too, me too.
About today's closed door sparring....
Don't worry, it's between you and I.
Thank you very much. I'll take my leave.
OK, take care then.
Please see yourself out.
Master Ip's "Heavenly tower strike" was amazing.
Master Liao didn't stand a chance!
Isn't that a Tai Chi Quan move? I thought Master Ip practiced Wing Chun?
Who cares! Anyway... he just flung him across the room with one hand!
But Master Liao still wouldn't give in... So Master Ip continued and beat him to a pulp.
He was really amazing!
The tea you ordered last week Mrs. Wong.
Thank you.
See you again.
Uncle Ping, who put this here?
Your younger brother.
I thought Master Liao's kung fu was supposed to be good, He didn't even stand a chance!
He was completely outclassed!
We both have a share in Dad's teahouse.
But he's always fooling around...
Tell that arsehole to take care of the customers!
Morning Lin.
Brother Man.
Is Quan around?
He's waiting for you upstairs.
Quan, have you been waiting long?
You're always late!
I was a little busy.
Busy with what?
It's always the same with you. Eat, drink and kung fu...
Where's the "busy" in that!
This tea is quite fragrant.
Are you listening?
Let's order some food.
I've got something to discuss.
Let's eat first, then talk...
Here you go, fresh from the kitchen!
I heard you fought Master Liao and completely outclassed him?
Who told you that?
My younger brother.
If only I'd known. I just asked to join Master Liao's dojo!
You've asked every Master in town to be your teacher.
So, Brother Man... is it true then?
Please, we're having a private discussion.
Sorry, I'll leave you to it.
Good morning Master.
Morning.
Master! Morning.
Good morning.
Master, someone said you were beaten by Ip Man!
Everyone in town is talking about it!
Nonsense! who's been saying this?
Sha Dan Yuan from the teahouse.
Prices in Fuoshan are increasing.
What about it?
Well, Fuoshan's economy is booming...
Everyone has expendable income.
And?
Think... what's one of life's necessities? Clothes.
Soon the demand for fabric will be huge.
That's why I want to set up a cotton factory, and become a leading supplier.
And I'd like you to be my partner.
I'm not a business man, Quan.
But this is an amazing opportunity.
I'm sure it is.
Who's Sha Dan Yuan? I want a word!
I am.
So you're the one spreading rumours about me? Master!
I'm going to teach you a lesson! Master, Master!
He's my younger brother. Let's all calm down. Don't get angry, Master.
Your brother is spreading lies and ruining my reputation!
He said I was defeated by Ip Man.
Now, how can I hold my head up in Dojo Street?
How will I attract new students?
Apologise now!
I was just saying what I saw!
You're full of shit! Master, Master!
Brother Man is just upstairs. Go get him, if you have the balls!
Maybe I will!
Master, relax... relax...
Master, Master... Don't get angry. Master, Master.
Master Ip, tell them it's true!
Master, Master!
Tell them how you beat Master Liao!
Brother Man, you must clear my name.
Still telling lies... and troubling Brother Man!
I'm not lying!
I was getting my kite from a tree and saw through the window.
What a coincidence that your kite landed outside the window.
What a coincidence that the two of them were fighting at the same time.
And coincidentally, you saw everything until the very end.
That's a lot of coincidences!
Yes, it was all coincidental!
Even if it was true, you can't talk about people like that!
There are some things one should keep quiet.
If it's true, one should admit it!
But then one would lose face.
"Lose face" What the hell does that mean?
That's what it means!
Lin, there's no need for that.
What's everyone laughing at!? What's going on!?
Just a small misunderstanding.
About what?
Thanks everyone...
Do not leave!
Honestly, it's nothing.
All of you listen to me...
Anyone caught disobeying the law or causing a ruckus...
Will be placed under arrest!
Officer, I'm not causing trouble, Someone's trying to ruin my reputation.
I am here for justice.
Justice? I am the justice here!
You're all wasting your time fighting all day long.
What era is it now?
Still using hand-to-hand combat?
We fight with weapons now, see... Gun! Gun!
You see?!
Officer Li...
We martial artists have lots of energy... and sometimes we talk very loudly.
But being loud, doesn't mean we're uncouth.
We're all law abiding citizens... There's no need to draw your weapon.
I'm sure you agree.
Lin, please take care of Officer Li. Put it on my tab.
Certainly.
Officer Li, this way please.
What the hell are you all looking at?
Please return to your tables.
Officer Li, please
Master Liao.
Take care.
What are you worried about?
I'm really not suited for business...
But take this to help you get started. When you make a profit, you can pay me back.
That might be a while.
There's no rush.
Do me one more favour. Accept my son as a your student.
There are so many Masters in Dojo Street. Why not ask one of them?
Because they're not as good as you.
Of course they are.
Crazy Lin!
Brother Quan.
Brother Man, I've learned a new technique. Can you help me test it?
Have you found your brother yet?
Don't worry about him. He'll be back when he runs out of money.
Ready?
Dad, did Uncle Man agree?
I'm working on it.
Your drawings are so good!
Let's see this new move then.
It's a defensive technique. Yet there's still an attacking element.
In attack there's defence. In defence there's attack.
That doesn't even make sense!
You wouldn't understand kid. Move back.
That move attacks the midsection out of defence.
You observe well, but try performing it.
I've finished drawing Mummy!
Very nice sweetheart. Go show it to Daddy.
Okay.
Use continued defence as attack?
That's right, it's called "constant defence...
Daddy, look!
Daddy's a bit busy at the moment son...
Understand?
I think so.
One more time?
Daddy didn't look!
You've already lost! What?
This is called "constant defence with attack"
One more time, I didn't see properly!
See! See! What's to see!?
You all hang about here all day, everyday! Off with you!
What now?
Sorry sister-in-law...
I'll get going too.
I wasn't referring to you.
No, I know. There's just lot's of business to take care of with the factory.
Come on Yeow.
Looks like we're off Uncle Man.
Ok, see you next time.
Take care.
If you're upset about something, tell me. No need to lose your temper.
Okay. Take a look at your son's drawings.
Show more concern for him! And don't stay out all day with your lay about friends
Let's go inside, okay?
Good boy.
Oi!
Where's Dojo Street?
What?
Dojo Street!!
Straight ahead.
One Two
Boss, there are so many dojos, which one should we go to first?
One Two
One, retract.
Brother. Teaching Kung Fu?
You want to learn? Come in.
Who is the master?
I am the master here!
I am Jin Shan Zhao.
I've long admired Fuoshan fighting arts. I seek to learn new techniques with the Masters here.
Exchange techniques?
Yes!
So you're here to challenge us then?!
Yes I am!
Okay...
Move aside. And watch your Master teach this country bumpkin a lesson!
Come on, move back, move back!
Someone's challenging the various schools.
What going on?
Watch and learn!
Boss, you're the best!
Where is your Master?
Over here!
You really wanted to hurt me?!
Our Master is not here!
What's with the weather today? It's hot, and blowing cold.
Let me.
What are you drawing son?
He's not talking to you.
You should spend some time with him today.
All right.
Crazy Lin, here so early?
Sister-in-law, I'm not here to fight. Just a quick word and I'll be off.
What is it?
A group of men are going around challenging all the dojos!
Their Kung Fu is good. Every dojo has lost so far.
You should go down there.
They're that good?
Oh yeah.
Thank you Sister-in-law, goodbye.
Come on Master Liao.
We're depending on you, Master Liao.
Bitches!
Not one of these schools can fight!
I thought the Masters in Fuoshan would be tough, but they're all wimps!
The weaklings can't even take one blow.
Looks like we were worried over nothing.
They're rubbish!
We're going to make a lot of money here!
Brothers, we've got to beat all the Master here.
Then we can open our own school and everyone will want to join.
We'll be number one in Fuoshan.
Fools. You haven't had a real challenge yet.
Beat our best Master, then you can talk!
Who's the best?
Ip Man of course!
Let's go...
Come! Come!
Watch us beat Ip Man!
Daddy, lot's of people are outside.
Master Ip, they...
Are you Ip Man?
I am Jin Shan Zhao. I've long admired Fuoshan's...
I know...
You've come here... because you want to challenge me...
That's right!
We're opening our own school in Fuoshan to show how much better we are!
You want to open a dojo? You don't have to fight me to do that!
You just have to find a good location. Now, please leave.
Uncle Wang, take the boy to his room.
Ip Man.
Don't try to get out of it. Are you afraid?
Always fighting! Does my house look like a dojo?!
You can't come barging in here! Get out!
You heard her. I won't fight you.
Please leave.
I heard that Wing Chun was developed by a woman.
How appropriate.
You're scared pf your wife!
No man should be afraid of his wife.
But he should always respect her.
Don't worry Mrs Man, I won't kill him.
If you're afraid he'll lose... I'll only use one hand.
If you're still concerned, I'll use neither!
Master Ip, fight!
Fuoshan is really disappointing! So many masters, but none are any good!
Shut your mouth!
Don't break anything.
Make way, Make way.
Make way.
What is this?
You came at the right time Officer Li.
This room is small, with many antiques. Please ask the spectators to leave.
You must win back our reputation.
Everyone out! Quickly!
Now! Move, move.
Out! Out!
Ip Man, Wing Chun.
I'm really interested to see,
how a man uses a woman's fighting technique!
A good style has no gender or age.
So when you face your opponent, they won't know how to attack you.
Ready?
I'll pay!
You will!
What's happening? Who is winning?
I'll pay!
Daddy, mummy says if you don't fight back, he'll break everything...
All right.
Little runt.
Careful what you say.
Boss!
Boss, Boss!
Are you alright?
I'm fine!
So, Master Jin... What do you think of my Kung Fu style?
You smart arse.
So, my style was not good enough for your Wing Chun.
Wrong. The problem does not lie within your style. It lies within you.
Who lost?! Who won?!
Do you really need to ask? Look at his face.
Get lost!
Master Ip! Good show, great work!
You've saved Fuoshan's reputation.
It was luck, just luck.
You are truly the jewel of Kwangtung.
Thank you.
These just came in.
Mr. Ip, for your wife. Thank you.
How much?
You've brought glory and honour to Fuoshan. I can't take your money!
Nonsense, I couldn't...
Really, there's no need to pay.
I insist.
I couldn't possibly.
Master Ip, the freshest fruit!
For your family, please.
Thank you. No problem.
Little one, here's a toy for you.
Wow, say thanks.
Thank you. My pleasure.
Thank you.
Master Ip, how are you?
Hello, good to see you.
That one's nice.
This is the best in our shop.
It would be my honour if you took this for your home.
You're too kind.
What's got into everyone?
Uncle Man, Auntie.
You are so sly.
If you wanted to open a dojo, you should have told me.
Who said I wanted to open a dojo?
Everyone in Fuoshan knows about it.
Everyone, except me.
Uncle Man, let me help you.
Master Ip, how are you?
All right buddy.
So it's you spreading the rumours?
You better fix this mess.
Go inside son.
Yeow must be your first student.
Not again! You know me Quan.
I'll never take on students.
Quiet!
We must show Master Ip how grateful we are. Repeat after me...
Master Ip! Master Ip!
7th July 1937: Japan launches full scale attack on China. The country is plunged into turmoil and gripped by severe famine.
October 1938: Fuoshan is seized, much of it's infrastructure destroyed by the Japanese occupying forces.
From a population of 300,000 Fuoshan is now left with just 70,000 inhabitants
Ip Man's residence is taken as headquarters by the Japanese army. With nowhere to go for Ip Man and his family, life becomes harsh...
Darling, I'm going out for a while. Back soon.
Wait..
It's cold. Wear your coat.
Son...
Be careful son. Make sure you don't hurt anyone.
Master Ip, I gave you a little extra.
Thank you.
People, please don't push.
Next! Once you have your allocation, leave immediately.
One at a time please!
This factory might be old, but it does the job.
Fuoshan is in a terrible state.
You got away. Why come back?
If I didn't, how would the workers survive?
Besides, all my money's invested here.
I can't pay you back just yet.
No need...If you hadn't had mentioned it, I'd have forgotten.
Don't be silly. You're a part owner here my friend.
The money you put up, equates to a 10% share.
Honestly, there's no need.
You know, I could do with an extra pair of hands here...
Uncle Man.
Yeow.
You're here to help? Great!
With you to lead us, we're bound to succeed.
I could also watch you practice Wing Chun.
I'll go organise an extra meal. We're about to stop for lunch.
Yes, join us.
Not today, thanks.
I still have some errands. Maybe next time.
Thanks anyway.
Why didn't you try and convince him dad?
He's a very proud man, son.
Daddy, didn't you used to practice martial arts?
Why don't you practice anymore?
If I use too much energy, I'll get hungry.
That's why I stopped.
Uh, I get it.
I won't go out and play anymore.
You're only finished playing for today, all right mister!
Eat up.
I'm sorry, this porridge isn't great..
But you have to eat something.
Careful, it's hot.
How much rice do we have left?
Don't worry about that... there's enough.
We have nothing valuable left that can be pawned
Your husband's not an old man yet. I'll get a job.
We'll be fine.
Is anyone hiring?
I'm sure I can find something.
I'll ask around tomorrow, now eat up.
We have more than enough staff. Not hiring, sorry.
Greetings, are you looking for workers?
No, not right now.
Sorry to trouble you.
Pick me, take me!
You, you and you. Come on up.
Please, pick me!
Master, you're looking for a job?
Come, come.
Thank you.
Brother Man.
Shame to see such a nice suit being ruined.
I didn't know I'd be digging coal when I put it on this morning!
Master Ip, how are you?
How are you?
Master Ip, are you well?
So many of the old masters are here!
The boss here used to practice martial arts.
He favours fellow martial artists.
Do you still practice?
Who has the time and energy to practice these days?
Let's sit down over there.
Okay.
I'm starting to get full. Please help me finish this.
Take it.
How is the wife and kid?
They're fine, thanks.
Did your brother ever turn up?
I haven't seen him since that day, with Master Liao.
I don't know if he's dead or alive.
I didn't even get a chance to apologise.
You lost something?
A tin box. A small tin box...
What was in it?
Japanese soldiers!
Troops are here!
Workers, this is Colonel Chuodeng.
The Colonel is an admirer of the Chinese fighting arts.
He knows about Fuoshan's fame as a martial arts capital.
He would like volunteers to spar with his soldiers and exchange techniques.
Who knows kung fu?
Is anyone willing to volunteer?
Is anyone interested?
Master Ip.
You want us to be their punch bags!
You count me out!
Idiot! There's a sack of rice for the winner!
Anyone who wins, will be awarded a sack of rice.
I'll go.
Lin, no, don't do it.
I'll go.
I'll go too.
They've taken all our rice.
This is our chance to get some back!
Wait, wait.
Good luck.
Find me that tin box, ok?
Oi!
It's alright. Come.
Be careful.
Come over and line up.
Quick.
Are there any more orders?
No. Let's go. Yes.
Master.
General.
Thank you, Sir.
Good work, good work.
Take them down!
I shall spar with them.
They're not at your level, General Sanpo.
It'll be a demonstration in Karate.
Find 3 men. Even if they lose, they'll still get a sack of rice.
Yes.
Don't say I never help you lot.
I've arranged for General Sanpo to spar with 3 of you.
Win or lose, you'll still get the rice.
Forget the rice, I want to teach them a lesson!
Who wants to go?
I do! I do! Pick me!
Let go of me!
Crazy Lin, you and you. That's three, let's go.
You're coughing up blood. Give up!
We've lost!
General, they've admitted defeat.
Idiot! Do you really want to die?
Bastard!
Crazy Lin! Are you ok?!
Lin! Lin!
Are you tired?
It's just digging coal. I'm fine.
I saw Crazy Lin today.
Really? How is he?
He's ok.
I never thought I'd see him again.
Master Li! Oh, greetings.
Have you seen Lin?
Crazy Lin? No, I haven't seen him.
Come on, let's eat.
Many people won a sack of rice yesterday. General Sanpo was very satisfied and most generous.
So, who wants to fight today?
Anyone?
Li Chian.
Li Chian, where is Lin?
Anyone at all?
Hey, where's Lin?
I don't know.
You don't know? You took him with you yesterday.
Anyone want to fight? If you win, you get a sack of rice.
I'll go.
Master Ip's going... me too.
I'll go too.
I'll fight the Japanese
Will there be anything else sir?
No. Let's go.
Thank you.
May I continue and fight 3 more men?
He says, he'd like to fight 3 more men.
You win.
Why did they shoot?
Li Chian! Why did they shoot?!
Who told you to shoot?
He lost the fight, but still had the cheek to try and take the rice.
I thought I'd teach him a lesson.
This place is for martial arts only!
Don't ever fire your weapon in here again!
Understood General.
I'll now arrange the next fight.
Oi!
Next fight.
Anyone else still want to fight?
I will fight!
Li Chian, open the door.
Master...
Open the door!
Is that what happened to Lin?
Open the door!
Master...
Open the door!
Open the door now!
I'll fight 10 of you!
That's crazy! Don't do this.
I want to fight 10 men!
Colonel, he says, he will fight 10 men.
Ten?
Yes.
Interesting.
Attention!
1st platoon. 3rd platoon. 5th platoon.
Hajime! (Begin)
Be careful.
Stand down!
Enjoy your rice.
He says to enjoy the rice.
I didn't come here for rice!
He said, he'll be back!
Oi!
What's your name?
He wants to know your name.
I am... a Chinese man.
He is Ip Man.
You have to be careful from now on. I don't know what Sanpo will do.
Traitor!
Why am I a traitor?
I'm not responsible for their deaths!
I'm only a translator. I've got to eat as well!
I need to eat.
Need to eat?
You stood by and watched your people being killed! Where's your dignity?
I guess I have none! Not like you!
If you're so noble, why don't you kill them all?
Kill 10! Kill 100! Kill 1000!
I'm a translator, not a traitor!
I'm a Chinese man too!
I'm back.
Daddy!
Hello dear.
Have you been behaving yourself?
Yeah.
Good boy.
How was your day?
I'm goint to go and cleaned up.
Thank you.
I feel so useless.
I can't do anything.
Martial arts is all I know.
What good is that?
This world...
is harsh and punishing.
I just feel so helpless.
I don't care about the outside world.
All I know is that I'm happy with you...
Here, together with our son.
and if we can get through this, we can get through anything.
You're right. We just need to stay together and look after each other.
Everybody out!
Everyone out, get out!
Move aside!
Move to the side of the road!
Who's the boss here? Show yourself!
I am.
I've just hijacked your truck, and now I want to sell your goods back to you.
Any objections?
There's no money here.
Don't hit my father!
Wing Chun!?
Little shit!
Don't hit him!
Where's the money?
There is none.
Money!
I'll beat you until you find some.
We've just opened. No money's been generated yet.
Uncle Man! Uncle Man!
Come quick, it's Dad! They're going to kill him!
Yeow, what's the matter?
I'll go and see.
I'm a very reasonable man.
If you don't have any money yet, I'll give you some more time.
I'll hold the goods till then.
Dad, are you ok?
I'm fine. Go help Uncle Foo.
I always thought Kung Fu was a bit of a waste of time.
Now I know it can be pretty useful.
If I knew before, I'd have asked you for some pointers.
Maybe I could've blocked a few punches.
Uncle Man, stay and teach us Kung Fu!
So we can protect ourselves from those thugs.
Master Ip.
Your kung fu is renowned. Please teach us.
Please Master Ip. Teach us.
Teach us, please.
Please Master Ip.
Look, I'm in the cotton business.
I don't know much outside of that.
I can't protect them.. but you can.
Back when times were peaceful, you said you didn't want to teach.
Now, everything is falling apart. Don't you think should do something?
You know Quan... I never wanted to teach.
But considering our condition... I must!
Uncle Man, can I be your first student?
Push higher daddy!
Higher? How's that!
Why didn't Ip Man ever return?
I...I don't know.
Find him!
I have no idea where he is.
I wouldn't know where to begin looking.
Fuoshan's not that big. How hard could it be?!
Fuoshan's really quite big.
Please!
I really don't know where he is.
You useless dog!
Enough!
Bastard!
Paper, scissors, rock!
You all ganged up on me.
Hide properly!
10, 9..
Sweety!
Quick, go hide over there.
3, 2, 1
Ready or not, here I come!
Master!
What are you doing here?
Sanpo wants to challenge you.
As long as he can't find me...
Too late.
What are you doing?
Stay away from my son!
Keep away!
Very pretty!
Shit!
Let's go. It's not safe here any more.
Let's get out of here!
Li Chian!
You fucking Chinese dog!
How could he have escaped?
Apologies!
Even Colonel Chuodeng couldn't bring him in.
It was really beyond me to stop him. I'm sorry.
Fucking useless!
Useless!
Send out the order...
Smoke Ip Man out of his hole.
Yes Sir.
Sisters.
Come.
Brother, come and eat.
How is Master Ip?
Don't worry, they're all fine.
Master.
Coming.
Mrs Ip.
These should fit you.
How is everything? Are you comfortable in here?
It's fine.
Good. I'll call you when it's dinner time.
Li Chian.
I'm all right.
I really don't know what to say.
Thank you very much.
No problem.
We'll leave Fuoshan as soon as possible.
Quan is finding a way out for us.
Where will we go?
Hong Kong.
Anywhere is fine.
I have some friends in Hong Kong.
If there are any problems...
What could happen?
Everything will be all right.
How are we getting on with the new order?
They're here again. Quick, run!
They're back. Quick, run!
Have you got my money?
We won't give you a penny!
What did you say?
We're not afraid. You can't bully us!
Little shit! You obviously need some sense beaten into you.
Beat the shit out of anyone that resists!
Stop fighting!
So, you've got yourselves a bodyguard...
I came to Fuoshan to open a dojo and you people insulted me.
Now, you're witholding my only income!
Bastards! You wont rest until you've completely ruined me!
No one forced you into a life of crime.
Do you know what it's like to be hungry everyday?
Nobody has a full belly these days.
When I first came to Fuoshan, I promised myself...
I will never go hungry again.
I will never suffer again! Get him!!
Go on!
What are you waiting for? Get him!
Get him!
Go on.
He's too good!
Let's go!
Wait for me!
Sha Dan Yuan
Wait a moment.
Why are you hanging about with the likes of them?
What choice do I have?
Robbing your own people?
Instead of being bullied, I'll bully others!
People are afraid of me for once!
This was your brother's...
Don't mention him to me!
He's dead.
Killed by the Japanese forces.
He had been searching for you all this time.
Whatever path a man takes, is his own choice.
That bastard Jin told Sanpo you were at the factory.
Please don't go back there.
I must hurry. Don't go back there!
Move quickly! Quick!
Where is Ip Man?
Where is he? Speak up!
Don't tell him a thing!
You, come here.
Where is he?
Speak up! Speak! Speak!
Let me try!
Hang on! I'll think of something!
Move! Speak! Speak!
I am here! Ip Man is here.
Ip Man is here! Ip Man is here!
I'm here.
Li Chian.
Wait! Please wait!
Wait!
Tell Sanpo, this has nothing to do with the workers.
Tell him to let them go.
I told you not to come! Why didn't you listen?
Tell him!
Stop!
He's the one who injured my leg! Let me kill him!
I've got something else in mind for him.
Li Chian! Yes?
From the moment you resisted the might of Japan,
you were a dead man.
But I noticed your extraordinary skills.
That's why I'm giving you one more chance.
Show your loyalty to the Japanese Imperial Army...
Teach them your extraordinary Kung Fu...
And you will come to no harm.
He says he admires your skills. He wants you to teach Kung Fu to the Japanese army.
I won't teach the Japanese army.
You want to see me fight?
I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!
He says, he will consider being an instructor.
but he'd like to spar with you first.
Take him to the barracks.
Let's move!
Quan, get my wife and child out of Foushan.
General, do you really want to fight this Ip Man?
He should prove to be a good challenge.
But, look at him.
He doesn't want to instruct the Imperial Army.
He has his own motives for wanting to spar with you.
Please don't fight him.
I'll put a bullet through him instead.
He thinks he can win. That's why he wants to fight you.
This man has asked me to fight. If I don't accept the challenge...
and put him to rest...
then there would be no difference, between that and admitting defeat.
A Japanese General fighting a Chinese man...
does not just concern you. It concerns the whole of Japan.
You think I might lose?
I'm just excersising caution.
I will win, with ease, and when I do...
I want the whole of China to know!
Yes, Sir. Sorry, Sir.
The reason I didn't kill you, and the reason I want you to be an instructor...
is because I admire your skill in Kung Fu..
but Chinese martial arts will always be inferior to those of Japan.
Tomorrow, we will fight in front of Foushan.
I will ensure it's a fair fight.
You occupy my country and you kill my people.
Take back your insulting gestures!
As you wish.
Let Mummy go! Let me go! Let me go!
I promised I wouldn't let anything happen to you. It's too dangerous in Fuoshan.
Hurry, I heard a Japanese general's challening a Chinese man to a duel...
Who is it?
Ip Man!
Look at this place. It's barricaded off!
I wished that he'd spend more time with us at home.
I scolded him for is love of martial arts.
Every time he fought, I'd lose my temper.
I should have been more supportive.
Now, this may be his last fight.
I'm afraid I won't see him again.
Why wont you let me see him one last time?!
Why?
General Sanpo wishes to strengthen the cultural exchange programme.
Today's fight will take place with fairness and in goodwill.
An exchange of ideas. And friendship through martial arts.
To realise cross cultural peace.
Goodwill?! Fairness?! Yeah right! I don't believe it.
Look at that traitor's face! Sooner or later the Japanese will kill him too!
You're right.
Everybody back! No sudden movements!
Here comes Master Ip.
What did General Sanpo talk to you about? Tell me.
Well, I really don't care what you discussed...
Listen carefully. If you win the fight tomorrow...
I will shoot you down!
Tell him!
Yes.
Please, don't win the fight tomorrow.
If you do, he will kill you.
It's not worth your life.
Martial arts may be formed from strength...
but Chinese martial arts, includes many ideals and philosophies.
Chinese martial arts teaches compassion. To help the weak and opressed.
This is what Japan will never understand.
Because you misuse strength, and turn it into brutal power, to terrorise others.
That is why you are not fit to learn Chinese martial arts.

Because of Ip Man's resistance in bowing to the Japanese, the people of China finally began to unite.
