During Ip Man's arrival in Hong Kong in 1949, he notices that the martial arts schools there operate like triads rather than true martial arts institutions. To set things right, he starts his own school that not only just teaches martial arts but also the right values. However, Wing Chun, as taught by Ip Man, is being viewed as kung fu meant only for girls, while Sammo Hung's Hung Gar is being seen as a macho form of boxing. This resulted in conflict and rivalry between the two. Li Zhe will be enlisted in the police force once again in Hong Kong while Jin Shan Zhao will turn over a new leaf and retire from the martial arts world, becoming an ordinary citizen and making friends with Ip Man.
