A little introduction 1st

The movie IP MAN(yip man) has been a great movie for the past 2 years.The movie is based on the real life martial artist from Hong kong whom is the master to the legendary Bruce Lee.Ip Man or knowns as Yip Man Tong is well-known for his kung fu known as WING CHUN.He is the disciple of Mater Chan-Wah Shun from China,Fushan.He is considered the first martial arts master to teach WING CHUN openly. He had several students who later became martial arts teachers in their own right, including martial artist actor Bruce Lee.

The Kung fu of wing chun is a concept-based Chinese martial art and form of self-defense utilizing both striking and grappling while specializing in close-range Combat.This kung fu is created by a buddhist nun from the past known as Ng Mui(Shaolin survivor).She created this kung fu specially for a lady's known as Yim Wing Chun, request to defend herself from a warlord from being bully and abuse.This still nameless style enables Yim Wing Chun to defeat the warlord. She thereafter marries Leung Bac-Chou and teaches him the style, which he names this nameless kung fu after her her name,Wing Chun........So guys...never ever bully a lady....you never know is they know Wing Chun.

The Movie Ip man 1 and 2 played by the famous Martial art artist Donnie yen has been a very good movie and Wing chun was widely learned and understand by many people since the movie was out.Donnie's machine gun punches in movie is truly mind blasting.You can't even count how many punches he has punced to his opponent.Above that,Yip man is a very good man and husband.he is polite and a lot of moral values can be learn from the Both movie Ip man 1 and 2 that played by Donnie....2 of the memorable quotes from the movie will be..below

1)which are more important?To able to know who is the victorious,or having dinner with your dearest family.
2)There are no husband that afraid of his wife...but husband that respect his wife.

(thumbs up for the quotes and moral value)

Now back to the topic, a new Ip Man movie was released few months ago with the tittle,The Legend is Born-IP Man.This is the movie about Yip Man's younger time and his childhood and how he learned Wing chun,his relationship with his Sifu and also how he found his love.The movie was played by Dennis To.Disciple to Yip Man's son,Yip zhun and learned Wing chun and other martial art since he was 6 and now he is the currently the world youngest Wushu champion at the age of 18.
According to Yip Zhun and his master,Master Sin,his Wing chun is far more better than Donnie Yen.This is because Donnie yen learned wing chun for 6 months while Dennis to learned since he was 6!!!....

To promote this movie,the cast crew of the movie-The legend is born-Ip man,has organized a road show and Wushu talk at Malaysia and they came to our College for the 1st stop for the wushu talk.For your information,I am crazy wushu movie fans..for me,this is a must not miss chance to go for talk and meet and greet with actors and wushu champion,Dennis To and Master Sin.

Master Sin with his wushu talk.

His talk about wushu and other moral values in life are truly inspiring.He also mentioned that we asian or chinese are starting to forget about wushu and stop practicing by the younger generations.Some older generation even doesn't want to teach.while the foreigners from other countries like US and some Europe countries are treating the Chinese wushu or kung fu like treasure and widely accepting students and promoting it to preserve this sports.This is truly something to be concern.Besides that,Dennis as master sin also performed some Wing chun demo there.being able to see real kung fu by both masters is a rarely to be seen.

I even bought my 1st novel from the wushu talk.
