From director Wong Kar Wai and starring Tony Leung and Ziyi Zhang, The Grandmaster is an epic action film inspired by the life of Wing Chun Grandmaster Ip Man, the legendary martial arts master who trained Bruce Lee.
In 1949 Ip Man, considered the most important grandmaster of modern Wing Chun, brought the martial art style from China to Hong Kong and eventually to the rest of the world.
Ip Man's most famous student was Bruce Lee. Lee is also credited for popularizing Wing Chun internationally and eventually developed his own style of martial arts (Jeet Kune Do).
