1.Henry Burdens Water wheel
2.Main Frame

Movie Review

Ip Man

Ip Man is a overly dramatized biograpiical movie about Yip “ Ip” Man. He is the first master of Wing Chun fighting style. The movie follows Ip Man from his days just before Japan invaded China in the 1930’s and his struggle to provide for his family. The movie also is about rising up to oppression and equality between nations and races.The movie is also packed with greatly executed martial arts sequences by Donnie Yen as Master Ip

Reasons I like the movie
1.Fast paced execution of Wing Chun kung fu
2.It’s based on the life of the master and mentor of the great Bruce Lee
3.It has a great message about equality and pride, even though it might come across as pro-Chinese to some people
