Three of the Best Martial Arts movies you may ever see.

Everyone knows who Bruce Lee is. But who was Bruce Lee's Mentor? He was Ipman, and here are three movies
about him, starring Donnie Yen and Yu-Hang To.

Ipman 2

Ipman: The legend is born, starring Yu-Hang To

Looks like there is a 4th movie now!

Ed Parker is the one who "Americanized" karate. He was Elvis Presley's instructor and introduced Bruce Lee to the US. The subject line's too short for the full story, But their master was a student of Mr. Pick and the school had the pleasure of hosting Mr. Pick for seminars on a few occasions. They were pretty young at the time and don't remember him, but he carried on in Parker's tradition.

I've got a DVD collection of old Lee films. He was amazing.
