No link?
I saw the first one on DVD... liked it. I saw no need for a second but hollywood apparently does.

SWEET! I just watched these two a few weeks ago on Amazon. I bought Ip Man, and received the online rental for a week, until the DVD came. #2 is OK... it's got Samo in it!

Thanks, Man!

Thanks rframe! I've been meaning to watch it for a while, just never got around to it. Turns out it's totally worth the hype. Bit heavy-handed with the propaganda, but really good all the same.

Ip Man sucks

An interesting statement, albeit brief.

So, am I to understand that you dislike the movie... or Ip Sifu himself?

The former, I could understand... but, the latter? Um, no.

Would you be so kind as to clarify?

Thank you!

The movies kick ***. Ip Sifu was just a skinny, no talent, drug addict who people try to credit with the creation of the realest cat in MA, Bruce Lee.

When did I say there was a part that wasn't a flame? And maybe we went to school together or something, idk.

Grandmaster Yip Man was not always skinny , in his younger days he was quite broad shouldered and exhibited the characteristic Wing Chun vee shaped back.

It was only in the latter years that the ravages of opium abuse and illness caused him to become frail.
Also worth noting is that Wong Shun Leung and William Cheung probably had more to do with Bruce Lee than Yip Man did , apart from a few photo opportunities with Yip Man , Bruce Lee would have been taught by senior students for the brief few years that he trained in Wing Chun.

Having said all that , even with Yip Man being in the last stages of throat cancer and high as a kite on opium he could still kill you on your best day with one strike , and would expend very little energy in doing so.

Yes, because Wing Chun practitioners are known more for their physical fitness than say The Legend of Zelda.

I didn't say I wanted to debate who trained Bruce Lee, I simply stated what the average person thinks.

And what part of the deadly Wing Chun arsenal do you think he would have used? Chain tickle to the temple? A deadly low kick? Or is Dim Mak a part of the Wing Chun curriculum that few know about outside of the inner circle of teat suckling seniors in most Kwoons?

Oh I doubt very much he would have to use anything special for you.
A simple palm strike to your jaw would do the trick , probably with enough power to break your neck.

Perhaps you missed the part of the rules that you agreed to upon joining, which state that trolling and posting to incite conflict are against the rules. If you have something productive to post, then post it. If you're here to cause trouble, you'll find your welcome worn out quickly!
