Grandmaster Yip Man
January 08, 2009
What a fantastic movie. Donnie Yen kick ass. For a guy who never studied Wing Chun before, he did a fantastic job emulating it. This is by far the best Wing Chun movie I’ve ever seen. Makes me proud to be a WC student.
Even though the movie does a wild job throwing Yip Man on a great pedestal, much like how Wong Fei Hung’s achievements were hugely exaggerated by the hundreds of movies, I couldn’t help feel a great sense of pride in “Uncle Man” while watching the movie. It makes me feel great to be Yip Man’s student’s student’s student (from my first WC teacher). I’m not exactly sure how the lineage works with Sifu Steve because he’s not too sure who his teacher’s teacher was. Don’t worry, none of it ever matters.
Boy, am I ever energized to do more training! Go watch this movie my fellow WCers!
