In the year 1959, Ip Man (Donnie Yen) and Zhang Yongcheng (Linda Hung) send their elder son Ye Zhun to Guangdong while their younger son Ye Zheng remains in Hong Kong to study. In the course of taking a stand against the gang led by Ma Jingsheng (Patrick Tam) and his boss (Mike Tyson), Ip Man rallies his disciples to protect his son's elementary school.

Both dedicated to their craft, they develop a level of respect and appreciation for each other. Zhang Tianzhi challenges Ip Man to a duel as the rightful representative of Wing Chun. At this time, Ip Man's wife suddenly falls ill. Despite the problems that he faces, Ip Man chooses to fight to win back the title as a Wing Chun master.
