In the film, they called him Ip Man, not Yip Man. Ldude 893 (talk) 12:34, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Which parts of the film were true?

Which parts of the film were actually true? For example did Yip Man really beat up a Japanese general? I mean he could hardly get away with that at the time. 81.156.180.213 (talk) 14:15, 14 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Japanese Karate not realistic for the time

Japanese karate in the 1930s was not known for high kicks, as portrayed in the film. Japanes karate kicks of the time were stumpy, like the Wing Chun kicks. High kicks came from Korean 'karate', which GIs learnt whilst in Korea and brought back to the US, and then spread throughout martial art schools. 86.134.235.222 (talk) 23:41, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not only was the Japanese karate in the film not realistic for the 1930s, the height of the Japanese karatekas were also not realistic for the period. Japanese males were quite short in the 1930s. An average height of 5 foot to five foot 2 inches for the Japanese karatekas would have been truer for the period. 81.156.180.208 (talk) 16:54, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
