We have Ip Man fight choreographer and kung fu expert Leo Au Yeung on the show today. Leo is a Hong Kong-born Wing Chun expert who teaches in London. From an early age, he was taught the close-combat Wing Chun style by Ip Chun - the son of legendary kung fu master, Ip Man, who would go on to teach a young Bruce Lee. We talk about Ip Chun's teaching methods as well as his now iconic father. In 2008, Leo was asked to be involved in a film which would depict the early life of Ip Man. The subsequent movie, Ip Man, starred Donnie Yen in the lead role with action supervised by Sammo Hung and was a huge international hit.In 2010, Leo was asked to be involved in another Ip Man movie, The Legend is Born: Ip Man, a prequel to the original 2008 film. Ip Chun appears in the film as Leung Bik - Ip Man's master - and features in a Wing Chun sequence choreographed by Leo. Leo also choreographed and appeared in the 2013 film, Ip Man: The Final Fight, with Anthony Wong in the title role. With so many Ip Man movies, Leo and I have a discussion about how he feels the films portray not just the man, but also the style he practiced.
