I'm watching IP Man over and over again cus it's very nice.
I absolutely love this part when he fights with 10 Black belts.

Wonder why he challenges them?
Cus he was furious to see his friend which is one of the kung fu school teacher, to be shot by gun by the Japanese.
Nice right? Won't tell you, go and watch yourself! (:
Really worth watching, for people who likes fighting shows.

This is another part which I love it too!
The last fight in the show. He was threatened by the guy who shot him. Saying that if Ip man was to win, he would use his gun and shoot him on the spot.

Actually after watching the show, I'm curious about him so I went to search for his biography and all.
Sitting is IP man, standing is Bruce Lee.

IP Man's teacher which is Master Chan [Chan Wah Shun] and Leung Bik had taught the same style their views and interpretations of it were different with Chan’s being very practical minded and taught in the language of the common person while Leung’s was rather sophisticated and philosophical.

The story goes like this on why he want to learn kung fu so much.

Young Ip , then 11 years old, was fascinated by the Gung fu he saw Mr. Chan teaching at the family hall and being impetuous as many young men are, he frequently pestered Master Chan for instruction. Ip recounted in his later years that Chan had had tried to discourage him by telling him that” Rich people from Plush surroundings tend to make poor students.” This however didn’t deter young Ip in the slightest and he instead pleaded for instruction. This Plea however created a very awkward situation for Master Chan, after all, how could he refuse the son of a benefactor generous enough to all them to use his family’s hall? Master Chan then came up with a clever way to further discourage the young Ip. Master Chan told the young man he would gladly accept him as his student if he paid the sum equivalent of 500 silver Dollars. Surely it would be impossible for one so young to raise such a sum of money he must have felt his problem had been solved.

Though it did take Ip some time Chan was shocked to find Ip standing in the doorway one day money in hand! Master Chan thinking that the money must have been stolen escorted young Ip to his father. It was Ip Oi Dor however who convinced Master Chan that the study of Wing Chun was so important to their son that he and his mother had decided to give the money to their son. Ip Man then became the last of 16 students ever taught by Chan Wah Shun.

There are alot more article about IP man.
Below is the link to his biography, and the earlier/later part of his story I think it's quite interesting.
