2 movies about Chinese Kung Fu - edited by Francisca Cheng

Before talking about the movie, I would like to first introduce Chinese Kung Fu, which is one of the first impression of China to the world. Me, as a Chinese, is very admire to it too. Chinese Kung Fu consists several types of schools, the Shaolin Sect, the Emei, and the Mount Hua Sect. These different Sect has their own characteristics of Kung Fu, for example, the Shaolin Sect is specialist in the Headbutt; Emei focuses on "boxing" and "kicking"; the Mount Hua Sect plays really good in sword.

However one thing we have to be clear is that, there are many different types of Chinese boxing. The film that I would like to recommend is about a man called Ip Man, who invented Wing Chun, a type of boxing. This film is highly recommended to Chinese Kung Fu lovers.

Another interested thing to be mentioned is that, Ip Man is a teacher of Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee also invented his own type of boxing called Jeet Kune Do. Anyone who is interested to this, I am recommending you to watch the film “Bruce Lee is my brother”.
