Synopsis

Featuring some of the most spectacular, innovative and explosive martial arts ever staged, The Legend Is Born is the remarkable true story of the early life of Ip Man, the formidable kung fu genius who would become Bruce Lee’s mentor.

Beginning at the start of his journey from his initial training through to the ultimate battle to become supreme master of the art of Wing Chun â€" culminating in a stunning blindfolded duel between action superstars Sammo Hung (Enter The Dragon) and Yuen Biao.

In an extraordinary coup, the film also stars Ip Man’s real life son, 76-year-old Ip Chun, as Ip Man’s kung fu master.
