The first shooting diary for the highly anticipated martial arts film, "Ip Man 2" is now online. The film is based on the life of martial arts master, Ip Man. Check out the embedded video above to witness Donnie Yen's lightning fast punches!

The film is directed by Wilson Yip and stars Donnie Yen, Lynn Hung, Lam Ka-Tung, Sammo Hung, Fan Siu-Wong, Huang Xiaoming and Kent Cheng.

"Ip Man 2" will pick up after the events of the first film with Ip Man (Donnie Yen) leaving Foshan and relocating to Hong Kong in 1949. The story will follow Ip Man’s early years in Hong Kong where he sets up his own school to teach Wing Chun and faces rivalry with the local 'Hung Gar' style master (Sammo Hung). 'Hung Gar' is a southern Chinese martial art whose most famous practitioner was folk hero Wong Fei Hung.

The sequel will also feature a young Bruce Lee, who would later become one of Ip Man's most famous disciples.

"Ip Man 2" is scheduled for release in Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia on April 29, 2010.
