We're getting old.

Don't risk your reputation.

Ip is more than he appears to be.

Force it,

things could go wrong.

I know what I'm doing.

I'm creating opportunity.

This fire today

needs new wood.

Your northern colleagues

disapprove of this match.

It's a huge honor.

This Ip doesn't deserve it.

It's not how things are done.

Don't follow the herd.

If the old never let go

when will the young get their chance?

Ip Man has talent.

Let's see if he can prove himself.

The Gong Family has never lost before.

With you here,

what right does he have?

I once had a temper like yours:

winning was everything.

But life's bigger than that.

Take a longer view.

Past the mountains

the world opens up.

Not to see the good in others,

not to admit their talent,

is to lack generosity.

Our high standards in martial arts

apply to character as well.

Father,

why did you bring me to a brothel?

If you don't see something,

does it not exist?

No harm in seeing.

The first time I came here

was before you were born.

Twenty years have passed in a flash.

In life,

ability isn't everything.

Some thrive in light,

others in shadow.

The times make us what we are.

I asked you to come South

to bring things full circle

and to let you see

how I step down.

Since you were little,

you've watched me fight.

This is the last time.

You're engaged to be married.

The Martial World

is no longer your world.

Be a good doctor.

Live a peaceful life.

This is my greatest wish.

Master Ip.

We're here to celebrate.

Your big day is coming up.

We'd like to show you our support.

I'm humbled, Uncle Deng.

It's nothing at all.

Don't mention it.

Please.

On behalf of the ladies

and staff, congratulations.

That's quite a battle formation.

Sister San heads our Peking Opera troupe.

She dabbles in Bagua.

She'd like to offer a few pointers.

Please.

After you.

Bagua is based on swordplay.

Single reverse palm is a single blade.

Double reverse palm is a double blade.

The feet arc out and in.

There are 64 transformations.

Attack comes out of nowhere.

Sister San, it's just practice.

No need to smash the ancestral tablets.

I've done that many times before.

No big deal.

Mr Ip, Bagua is underhanded.

Beware.

Thank you.

Ah, Mr Ip.

Today is a happy day.

We in Accounts wish you well.

Xingyi began with General Yue Fei.

It uses the fist as a spear.

Drill

Chop

Cross

Blast

Crush

Such sensitivity - impressive!

That Crushing Fist is quite something.

Mr Ip,

each challenge leads to a higher peak.

Xingyi is brutal.

Don't underestimate it.

Let's see how high the peaks get.

Hmm. This will be fun.

My turn now, Master Ip.

And what have you got for me, Yong?
