To many Chinese, Foshan, in Guangdong province in southern China, is the birthplace of Chinese martial arts. This film pays tribute to Master Ip Man, who propagated the practice of Wing Chun (a close-quarters style of self-defense). The martial art gained popularity in Foshan through his teaching, then worldwide, through his star student in Hong Kong, Bruce Lee.
