Ip Man

In the year 1921 martial artists from various clans compete in the Canton arena. This is not just a contest between fighters, but a struggle between warlords. Young Ip Man tries his luck in the arena.

Ip Man wants to be Fung-Kau's disciple but he's only willing to teach him martial arts. Meanwhile, Ip Man reunites with his childhood love Wing-Shing and learns that Ching-Shan is working for the government.

Marshal Chu asks Fung-Kau to fight for him on stage in exchange for great rewards but Fung-Kau refuses. Ip Man and Wing-Shing overhear a quarrel between the warlords at Marshal Chu's banquet.

To everyone's shock, Marshal Chu announces that he will marry his daughter to Ching-Shan. Yan-Chiu and Brother Lo enter the final round together, while a disguised killer approaches Yam-Tong.

Fung Kau is forced to fight Tseung Sing, but is brutally defeated. Marshal Lo and Ching-Shan conspire to use the Five Northern Tigers to gain power, but Ip Man challenges them on stage.

Ip Man survives the brutal fight. Wah-Shun teaches Ip Man how to withstand long battles. Suddenly, Wing-Shing is kidnapped and it's up to Brother Lo, Ip Man, and Zi to find her.

Ching-Shan gives Wing-Shing Marshal Lo and the north's secret agreement. A group of students and Wing-Shing go after Marshal Lo. Ip Man defeats Tseung Sing thanks to Wah-Shun's "Wing Chun" technique.

Ip Man discovers that Chin-Shan and Pak-Lam have been conspiring together. Wing-Shing admits her love to Ip Man. Zi reveals that he is Wah-Sung's son and leaves when his father refuses to teach him Wing Chun.

Ip Man has no choice but to fight Zi. After Fung-Kau disappears Ip Man finds a poem from him that implies he wants Ip Man to learn from Wah-Shun, who still refuses to teach Zi. Ip Man desperately misses Wing-Shing.
