"Ip Man... Wing Chun!"
My favourite phrase from the movie. For those who don't know, Chinese is a very consise language and you never repeat things which are already clear! What Donnie Yen (as Ip Man) actionly meant with this phrase was the following: In kung fu tradition, before a duel starts, them oponents introduce themsleves first before they start to fight. In English the same sentences would be something like:
"My name is Ip Man and I represent the Wing Chun style (of kung fu)!" I just love the the Chinese concise version!
