Ip Man was the grand master of the Wing Chun style of kung fu.  He was also the Sifu (Master) of legendary Kung Fu superstar Bruce Lee.  Wing Chun has a history of more than 200 years.  It was founded by Yim Wing Chun, and took root in the hands of Leung Chun, and prospered with Ip Man.  The art of Wing Chun has now become very popular with martial arts enthusiasts, especially overseas.  It is a traditional Chinese martial art, with a formidable reputation internationally.  To this date, there have been neither movies, nor publications about Ip Man.  This movie will be the first important record of the Master's life.  Ip Man's persistent devotion to Wing Chun is a classic example of the love and respect shown to Wushu and the freedom and spirit it represents.  This movie will see the making of a modern Wushu Master, representative of Chinese people - worldwide.
