Most Helpful Customer Reviews

This film is one of the best movies ever made about a real life and true Kung Fu Master. Donnie Yen plays the part of Yip Man, at first when I heard that a movie of Yip Man was being made and that Donnie Yen was playing the main role well I thought that he would have to learn Wing Chun for at lease a year to be believable but his Wing Chun was so good that it appeared that he had been learning Wing Chun Kung Fu for a long time.

I've seen this movie about 6 or 7 times now and all I can tell you is that I can't get enough of it. Now I don't think every scene in the movie was factual or based on the life of this amazing man but I do know that Yip Man was and is the main reason why Wing Chun is even known about today. If it were not for him accepting students in Hong Kong, then Wing Chun would possibly be hidden forever. Yip Man's most famous student was the great Bruce Lee, due to his popularity people around the world learned of the great system of Kung Fu known as "WING CHUN"
