The pure wing chun choreography done by Donnie Yen is the best I have seen in a movie. My Sifu studied under Sifu Hawkins, who was Bruce Lee s friend and training partner when they studied wing chun under Yip Man. He told me that Sifu Hawkins and Sifu Lee often referred to Grandmaster Man as Yip Man. For more insight to this movie and the life of Yip Man go to http://www.hawkinscheung.com and read the articles.

The clue is in his sons names Ip Chun & Ip Ching therefore the correct spelling for his name is indeed Ip Man not Yip Man.

The Mandarin pronunciation of his name is actually ‘Ye Wen’. Ip Man or Yip Man are simply different (arbitrary) spellings for the Cantonese pronunciation of his name. It would seem ‘Ip Man’ is the recorded or more widely recognised version of the spelling.

The film is called Ip Man because it’s the mandarin pronunciation (mainland china). Yip Man is the Cantonese pronunciation (Hong Kong)… but they’re both right.

The film is called Ip Man not Yip Man presumably because this is the correct way to spell his name.

Bey Logan over at Dragon Dynasty have been blogging about the movie, so chances are they have the inside track to nab the foreign rights. If it doesn’t hit theaters (maybe limited release), it’ll definitely arrive on DVD next year, most likely courtesy of DD.
