Yip Man (叶问), who has had many famous students including Bruce Lee, was the first martial arts master to teach the Chinese martial art style called Wing Chun openly.

Ip Man (this is not a typo), a Hong Kong Kung Fu biopic based on his life, has been highly praised by both Chinese audience and film critics. Here is the trailer for the mainland Chinese market:

Today, an ancient video clip of Yip Man practicing Wing Chun was unearthed by the Youku community. Watching this video, you get a much better sense of how Chinese martial arts works in the real world.

Without gravity-defying fights between a starved Chinese businessman and ten well-trained Japanese warriors, Yip Man looked like, to borrow a comment from Youku user here, a real-life Wall-E.

So, do you still believe the stuff you see in Chinese Kung Fu movies?
