Brilliant fighting scene from Ip Man.

Fantastic movie from start to finish. Great fight scenes and have seen this movie loads of times :smiley: Heat added :wink:

Chad, thanks for posting and i never knew the 3rd movie was out :innocent:

Thanks for posting my favourite fight scene :wink:

1p?

HEAT coz I love WING CHUN!!

I watched that and it led me onto one of those youtube trail of vids and I ended up here.

Doesn't look as half as good as how Donnie Yen does it :disappointed:

first one's great, second one's solid and then ignore anything else Ipman.

Favourite films from the last 10 years, can no longer watch old kung fu movies without cringing after this. It's spectacular.

Good price! If anyone has netflix I think both of them are on there as well :smile:

Bruce Lee- the greatest martial arts icon of all time. Yeah although I feel his films were totally eclipsed by Jackie Chan. Bruce Lee had very few fights in his time so it's hard to know exactly how good a fighter he really was. Experts appear to agree that he had the credentials to be a great fighter. I guess we'll never really know.

Yes as it was never proven he was a great fighter as he didn't compete. Only anecdotal evidence exists of the handful of fights he participated in.

Didn't compete in what? The fact he was a great martial artist is how he became such a massively well known film star. He'd have beaten anybody in my opinion.

That's your opinion, I don't know your credentials to qualify that opinion but from my research I can find no evidence that he was a great fighter, but he was a great martial artist, possibly the best. Jackie Chan is a great acrobat and martial artist, is he a great fighter? Again he doesn't compete. Martial arts in films and demonstrations are massively different to real fighting. Would he win in UFC/MMA? No one knows if he could compete in that arena and be the best.

Ip man, beats 10 fighters without taking a single hit.

He fought General Miura but got shot. He had to take Opium to ease the pain.

Being a great martial artist doesn't automatically make you a great fighter, and vice versa.


Richard Bustillo told me that his sparrings against Bruce Lee were the most difficult and frustrating fights he ever had. Again anecdotal, but he has got a lot of experience.

As for MMA you're right no one really knows - he preferred to fight dirty, but the start of Enter the Dragon shows his idea of combat sport wasn't far off that of modern MMA.

The problem these days is that you get self proclaimed JKD fighters who ignore what Bruce Lee taught, and instead go into the ring and try to mimic how he fought in films 40 years ago and get their **** handed to them. They just end up making JKD look bad.


There's a lot more in there than just Kung Fu and Karate. Never write a style off because of what you see in films. There are lots of things in Okinawan and Japanese martial arts that complement Kung Fu nicely.
