Ip Man: The Legend is Born

Unlike “Ip Man” directed by Wilson Yip which describes him as a legendary martial artist linked to his family. Herman Yau’s film is of him at age 20 struggling with life and love. Fairly good martial arts movie with a good amount of martial arts action, mostly sparing action though. Personally when I was watching this, (I could be totally wrong) I was just extremely confused of the title and the name of the main character. IP Man?! What does that even mean? I really do not have a firm grasp on martial arts history or legends but the title and the name just makes it extremely awkward to me. I tried looking online for some answers but did not really find anything. Although it does not really matter and probably the translation got lost somewhere but I am pretty nit-picky on such details. Overall the movie was fairly decent not really heart pounding action but enough for the average martial artist enthusiast to enjoy.
