Barton Geddes

==Summary ==
Barton Geddes is the main antagonist of Ip Man 4: The Finale. When Hartman Wu, Staff Sergeant of the Marine Corps and student of Bruce Lee, tries to convince Geddes to incorporate Chinese martial arts into their hand-to-hand combat training, he proves that their current Karate training is superior by asking him to fight the Marine Corps' Karate instructor Colin Frater. If Hartman can beat Colin, he will consider including it. Colin, however; easily defeats Hartman and Geddes says that because of the Staff Sergeant's "stupidity", all of the Chinese recruits must run an extra thirty laps; while the Staff Sergeant himself must run an extra thirty after that. Hartman later manages to convince the Commanding Officer about introducing Kung Fu and is permitted to film the Mid Autumn Festival happening near the Chinese Benevolent Association for research, which greatly infuriates Geddes.
