Today marks the 6th anniversary of Ip man 3
Here is some trivia from imdb.com
1. While Bruce Lee is portrayed as a direct student of Yip Man in the film, the reality is that Lee was one of the students in Yip's school. Lee's instructor was Wong Shun Leung, himself a student of Yip Man. A letter from Lee to Wong expressed, "Even though I am (technically) a student of Yip Man, in reality, I learned my Kung-fu from you." Wong was well-known for his participation in illegal underground martial arts competitions ("beimo"), where he was rumored to be undefeated. Wong retired from participating in these fights after accidentally blinding an opponent. Over the course of his lifetime, Yip probably had several students, some staying for a few months, others for longer, and other for maybe a few weeks. This explains the existence of people who claim lineage from Yip Man.
2. Donnie Yen studied Mike Tyson's past matches to prepare physically and mentally for the fight scenes with him. As a former world heavy weight champion boxer, Tyson punches over 1,500 foot pounds of force in the ring.
3. Donnie Yen's wife publicly expressed her worries that Yen might get hurt by Mike Tyson. However, it was Yen who ended up fracturing Tyson's index finger while filming one of the fight scenes.

What personal meditative practices do y’all have that keep you centered? For example, they may not be the whole standard deep breathing in a lotus position ohm thing … perhaps it’s some meditative moving exercise like swimming or waking or a meditative activity like painting that gets you in that state.
