Heart-stirring plots in films like Fist of Legend, Fearless (Huo Yuanjia) etc have also reflected in Ip Man.Though Donnie Yen had never practiced Wing Chun Kuen before, his understanding to it was really amazing. Trained by Sammo Hung, Donnie Yen has presented on the big screen the power of Wing Chun Kuen with his swift, fierce…
