IP MAN 4 going to be the last part of the serie or not ?

Fans of martial arts movies will most certainly wait with bated breath for the opening of Ip Man 4 later this year to catch the legendary actor Jackie Chan in action.

An entertainment portal reported that Chan will play a cameo role alongside actor Donnie Yen who returns in the titular role of Ip Man, the grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun and teacher of another legend, Bruce Lee.

The portal also reported that a fight scene between the two actors would be the highlight of Ip Man 4.

Chan will play “a respected Big Brother in Chinatown”, but his cameo will only be a special appearance. There is no further details on how the scene will unfold.

Last year, Yen confirmed that there was going to be an Ip Man 4 film and shared the first look of the film last April.

Directed by Wilson Yip, Ip Man 4 will follow Bruce Lee’s first touchdown in the U.S., chronicling his attempt to open a martial arts school there and his challenges in dealing with the locals.

Ip Man will then come to Lee’s rescue as he will help him earn the trust of the people. Not only that, he will also help lay the foundations of kung fu in the US.

This highly-anticipated martial arts movie’s cast also include Scott Akins and Vanness Wu, who are newcomers to the epic film saga.

And we are waiting for a conformation  by wilson IP if there is an IP MAN 5 or not !

How do you get a hand speed like Bruce Lee?

You probably won’t ever,but you can get fast enough to be a formidable opponent because not all is based on speed rather timing,but great speed is awesome,don’t punch while tense,practice handwork under water like up to your neck,use your shoulder’s as well,use ankle weights on your wrist,and move your arms,and do not over-reach when you punch,the less distance it has to travel the faster it will be,and while you have the weights on your wrist do a backfist slow,say ten times,take them off and you will feel the difference,then learn mental speed seeing it being executed fast,resistant exercises will help,and footwork proper position,,,GL,,,Bruce Lee use to do things at parties like one he would get someone to hold their hand out with a penny in it,and he would grab it,and replace it with a dime,and they thought they had the penny,only to see a dime.

Why wing chun effective in fight ?

The answer lies in the strategy of Wing Chun fighting. What distinguishes Wing Chun from most martial art styles is the attention to detail. The focus on correct structural integrity, efficiency of movement, and the development of short distance power. These are the concepts that we should be seeking to improve by scientifically testing against a resisting opponent with no knowledge of Wing Chun. If these concepts are valid then they would hold up to any test regardless of the method of testing. That is, whether tested in a style vs style comparison, San Shou or in Mixed Martial Arts competition.

TUPAC SHAKUR biography

Shakur was born in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City but relocated to Los Angelesin 1988, and by the time he released his debut album 2Pacalypse Now in 1991, he became a central figure in West Coast hip hop, introducing social issues in the genre at a time when gangsta rap was dominant in the mainstream.^[5][6] Shakur achieved further critical and commercial success with his follow-up albums Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z...(1993) and Me Against the World (1995).^[7]Later that year, after suffering legal troublesand a robbery and shooting, Shakur became heavily involved in the growing East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry.^[8]

His double-disc album, All Eyez on Me, which was released in 1996, later became one of the best-selling albums in the United States.^[9] On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot four times by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas; he died six days later and the gunman was never captured. The Notorious B.I.G., Shakur's friend turned rival, was at first considered a suspect, but was also fatally shot in another drive-by shootingseveral months later.^[10][11] Five more albums have been released since his death, all of which have been certified platinum.

Boxing style and techniques

Primary stylesEdit

There are four generally accepted boxing styles that are used to define fighters. These are the swarmer, out-boxer, slugger, and boxer-puncher. Many boxers do not always fit into these categories, and it's not uncommon for a fighter to change their style over a period of time.

SwarmerEdit

Julio Cesar Chavez (Swarmer)

The swarmer (in-fighter, crowder) is a fighter who attempts to overwhelm his opponent by applying constant pressure — taking away an opponent's spacing and timing. Swarmers tend to have a very good bob and weave, good power, a good chin, and a tremendous punch output (resulting in a great need for stamina and conditioning). This style favors closing inside an opponent, overwhelming them with intensity and flurries of hooks and uppercuts. They tend to be fast on their feet which can make them difficult to evade for a slower fighter; or are great at cutting off the ring with precise footwork. They also tend to have a good "chin" because this style usually involves being hit with many jabs before they can maneuver inside where they are more effective.^[1] Many swarmers are often either shorter fighters or fighters with shorter reaches, especially in the heavier classes, that have to get in close to be effective. Tommy Burns was the shortest Heavyweight champion at 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m), while Rocky Marciano had the shortest reach at 67–68 inches (170 cm). One exception is Jack Dempsey, who was nearly 6 ft 1 in (1.85 m) with a 77-inch (200 cm) reach. Famous swarmers include Henry Armstrong, Carmen Basilio, Melio Bettina, Joe Calzaghe, Joe Frazier, Kid Gavilán, Gennady Golovkin, Román González, Harry Greb, Emile Griffith, Fighting Harada, Ricky Hatton, Beau Jack, Jake LaMotta, Battling Nelson, Bobo Olson, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Patterson, Aaron Pryor, Wilfredo Gomez, Mickey Walker, Julio Cesar Chavez, Shawn Porter and Mike Tyson. .^[2][3]

Out-boxerEdit

Muhammad Ali (out-boxer)

The out-boxer (out-fighter, boxer) is the opposite of the swarmer. The out-boxer seeks to maintain a gap from their opponent and fight with faster, longer range punches. Out-boxers are known for being extremely quick on their feet, which often makes up for a lack of power. Since they rely on the weaker jabs and straights (as opposed to hooks and uppercuts), they tend to win by points decisions rather than by knockout, although some out-boxers can be aggressive and effective punchers.^[1] Out-boxers such as Benny Leonard and Larry Holmes can still have many notable knockouts and punching power, but usually preferred to wear down their opponents and outclass them rather than just knock them out. Out-boxers also cross over frequently with counter-punch and/or swarming techniques, such as Naseem Hamed, who used his speed on his feet to avoid injury and his precision and power to carve his opponents down. Notable out-boxers include Muhammad Ali, Gabriel Elorde, Wilfred Benitez, Cecilia Brækhus, Ezzard Charles, Kid Chocolate, Billy Conn, James J. Corbett, George Dixon, Chris Eubank, Tiger Flowers, Tommy Gibbons, Holly Holm, Jack Johnson, Junior Jones, Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Loughran, Chancellor P Meeks., Floyd Mayweather Jr. Chancellor P Meeks. , Amir Khan, Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, Willie Pep, Barney Ross, Michael Spinks, Gene Tunney, Jersey Joe Walcott, Oleksandr Usyk, Vasyl Lomachenko and Pernell Whitaker.^[3]The fictional character Apollo Creed is considered an out-boxer.

SluggerEdit

George Foreman (Slugger)

If the out-boxer represents everything elegant about boxing, the slugger (brawler, puncher) embodies everything brutal about the sport. Many sluggers tend to lack finesse in the ring, but make up for it in raw power, often able to knock almost any opponent out with a single punch.^[1]

Most sluggers lack mobility in the ring and may have difficulty pursuing fighters who are fast on their feet but that's not always the case. Compared to swarmers and out-boxers, sluggers normally throw fewer but harder shots and rely less on combinations. Sluggers often throw predictable punching patterns (single punches with obvious leads) which can leave them open for counterpunching.^[1]Sluggers can also be fast and unpredictable fighters, such as the case with Terry McGovern and Stanley Ketchel. While sluggers are normally considered the most crude boxers, Bob Fitzsimmons was considered by many boxing historians to be highly scientific in his slugging techniques. Because of their similar brawling tactics, swarmers and sluggers are often confused with each other.^[4]. Famous sluggers include Max Baer, Paul Berlenbach, Riddick Bowe, Gerry Cooney, George Foreman, Bob Foster,^[5]Gene Fullmer, Ceferino Garcia, Rocky Graziano, Arturo Gatti, Wilfredo Gomez, James J. Jeffries, Vitali Klitschko, Sonny Liston, Ron Lyle, Anne Sophie Mathis, Ricardo Mayorga, John L. Sullivan, Vonda Ward, Barbados Joe Walcott, Deontay Wilder, Ann Wolfe .^[3] Fictional characters Rocky Balboaand Clubber Lang are considered to be sluggers.

Boxer-puncherEdit

The boxer-puncher possesses many of the qualities of the out-boxer; hand speed, often an outstanding jab, combination and/or counter-punching skills, better defense and accuracy than a slugger, while possessing slugger type power. The Boxer-puncher may also be more willing to fight in an aggressive swarmer-style than an out-boxer. In general the boxer-puncher lacks the mobility and defensive expertise of the pure boxer. Boxer-punchers usually do well against out-boxers, especially if they can match their speed and mobility. They also tend to match up well against swarmers, because the extra power often discourages the swarmer's aggression. Boxer-punchers can be hard to categorize since they can be closer in style to a slugger, swarmer, or an out-boxer. Notable boxer-punchers include Laila Ali, Canelo Álvarez, Alexis Arguello, Marco Antonio Barrera, Charley Burley,^[6] Marcel Cerdan, Roberto Duran, Joe Gans, Marvin Hagler, Thomas Hearns, Bernard Hopkins, Eder Jofre, Roy Jones, Jr., Wladimir Klitschko, Sam Langford, Lennox Lewis, Ricardo Lopez, Joe Louis, Christy Martin, Carlos Monzon, Archie Moore, Jose Napoles, Sugar Ray Robinson, Chancellor P Meeks, Sandy Saddler, Carlos Zarate Serna, Freddie Steele,^[7] James Toney, Felix Trinidad, Ike Williams, Jimmy Wilde, and Tony Zale. .^[3][8]

Sub-styles and other categoriesEdit

• Counterpuncher A counterpuncher utilizes techniques that require the opposing boxer to make a mistake, and then capitalizing on that mistake. A skilled counterpuncher can utilize such techniques as winning rounds with the jab or psychological tactics to entice an opponent to fall into an aggressive style that will exhaust him and leave him open for counterpunches. For these reasons this form of boxing balances defense and offense but can lead to severe damage if the boxer who utilizes this technique has bad reflexes or isn't quick enough. Notable counterpunchers are Canelo Álvarez, Charley Burley, Joe Calzaghe, Chancellor P Meeks, Floyd Mayweather, Marvin Hagler, Andre Ward, Bernard Hopkins, Vitali Klitschko, Evander Holyfield, Hector Camacho, Juan Manuel Márquez, Archie Moore, Salvador Sanchez, Dick Tiger, Guillermo Rigondeaux, Azumah Nelson, Tony Canzoneri, Terence Crawford, Wilfred Benitez, and James Toney. Fictional boxer Little Mac is also a counterpuncher.
• Southpaw A southpaw fights at a left‐handed fighting stance as opposed to an orthodox fighter who fights right‐handed. Orthodox fighters lead and jab from their left side, and southpaw fighters will jab and lead from their right side. Orthodox fighters hook more with their left and cross more with their right, and vice versa for southpaw fighters. Some naturally right-handed fighters (such as Marvin Hagler and Michael Moorer)^[9][10] have converted to southpaw in the past to offset their opponents. Famous southpaws include Melio Bettina, Ruslan Chagaev, Tiger Flowers, Hagler, Naseem Hamed, Zab Judah, Moorer, Manny Pacquiao, Sergio Martínez, Tarver, Pernell Whitaker, Joe Calzaghe, Hector Camacho and Winky Wright. In Rocky (film series), Rocky Balboaand Clubber Lang are southpaws, as well as Mason Dixon who is played by actual light‐heavyweight southpaw Antonio Tarver. Fictional character Billy "The Great" Hope used a southpaw uppercut to knock down Miguel Escobar in his comeback fight in the film Southpaw.
