Now Showing: Ip Man 2

As we all loved the movies of those hollywood asian martial-arts heroes, here is another movie that we would, or should surely need to watch. This is actually a sequal of the "IP man" movie, which we might don't know, part 2 of the life of Mr Yip Man himself, the grandmaster of "Wing Chun" martial arts. Also a popular master of martial artist Bruce Lee.

Yip man or ip man, is recognized as the first martial artist master to teach Wing Chun. Most of students that he tought, later on, who became martial arts masters and teachers as well on their own right, including the legendary and popular martial-arts-hero-actor Bruce Lee.

He started at the early age in learning Wing Chun and was the last student of Chan Wah-shun, at the age of 70 years old. Because of the experiences, technique and skills of his master, Ip man learned most of his skills. While he was still on youth-early-age, was transferred to Hong Kong and learned from several masters to develop his skills on martial arts.

Ip Man 2 was mostly the life of the martial artist in Hong Kong, setting up his Wing Chun school to have his disciples. Struggles and rivalry from other practitioners also is the highlight of the film, as you would see other masters testing the skills of Mr Ip Man. His signature skills and techniques is still there and also the popular Wooden Dummy that master Ip Man always practice.
