Ip Man Quotes

Style vs. Skill in Martial Arts Debate

Kam Shan-chu: My northern boxing has lost to your southern one.
Ip Man: No, it's not a matter of northern or southern style. The problem is you.

The Essence of Chinese Martial Arts

Ip Man: Although martial arts involves armed forces, Chinese martial arts is Confucian in spirit. The virtue of martial arts is benevolence. This is something that the Japanese will never understand, for they learn martial arts only to become stronger and terrorise others. They are not worthy of learning our martial arts.
