Description: In 1959, Ip Man leads a quiet life in Hong Kong. His older son, Ip Chun, has gone back to Foshan for studies, leaving Ip with his younger son, Ip Ching, and his wife, Cheung Wing-sing. During this time, Bruce Lee approaches Ip, requesting to become his student. After showcasing his speed, Ip neither accepts nor rejects him but subtly hints for him to leave by opening the door.
When Ip Ching gets into a fight with his classmate Cheung Fong, their teacher, Miss Wong, calls for a meeting with the parents, though only the Ip family attends. As a gesture of apology, the Ip family invites Fong to their home for dinner. During the visit, Fong displays basic but notable Wing Chun skills. When asked about his mentor, Fong reveals it is his father, Cheung Tin-chi, who arrives shortly after to pick him up. Though Tin-chi appears friendly, he secretly harbors envy and a desire to surpass Ip.
Tin-chi becomes involved in underground fights organized by Ma King-sang, a local triad leader working for Frank, an American property developer and skilled boxer. Frank instructs Ma to acquire the land where Ip Ching and Cheung Fong’s school is located. When Ip goes to pick up his son, he witnesses Ma and his men attacking the school principal for refusing to sell. Ip intervenes and subdues Ma but is forced to let him go. Seeking assistance, Ip turns to his close friend Fat Po, a local police sergeant. Po agrees to help but admits he lacks the resources to protect the school daily. As a result, Ip decides to guard the school alongside his students.
