Love that film, watched it a few months back :) Always been facisinated by martial arts in any form. There is a Wing Chun school near where I work that I keep meaning to check out and see if it's any good. :)

Check it out seriously, it's the best martial art there is and if you get a good sifu then you can become proficient in a relatively short amount of time, if you practise say 2-3 times a week with somebody else you could be very effective in about 2 years. The actual system Is quite small compared to other martial arts and it is super effective because it's so direct.
I train 2 times a week with my sifu.
Just make sure that your sifu is a registered instructor because there is not very many in the uk, also you want to make sure that they are teaching traditional ip man wing chun as some places teach a watered down version so that it caters for everybody.
If you want to see some actual techniques in practise check out.

Yer not impressed as they made it very commercial, ip man was a real person and the first film was about some things that happened in his life, the second film is just a money spinner.

Yeah, but I think they wanted to make the second one about him and Bruce Lee ( he was lee's teacher I think), but couldn't get the rights or something.

Yes he did teach Bruce Lee when he was growing up I don't know about the rights but you are probably spot on.

Reviving a slightly old thread... but yeah.

I guess your not too fond of the sequel, but I have wondered - Who is the 'insane guy' in IP man 2, that is the father of Ip Mans First student? I mean, I know he's one of the masters in IP man 1, but I cant place him. Is it a different actor?

Going from the subtitles in Ip man 2, his name is Jin Quan, but I can't find anything on him from the first film. Anyone recognise him?
