Hung and Fatso are then shown to be acting as reluctant collectors for the martial arts schools (including Hung's) as part of a protection racket headed by Superintendent Wallace, a corrupt officer in the Hong Kong police. Ip, Wong and Jin are subsequently arrested by Officer Fatso for disturbing the peace but are later released on bail. Ip introduces himself, and Hung informs him that before setting up a school, he needs to attend a special fighting ceremony to test his skill. The students' master, Hung Chun-nam, arrives to break up the fight.

Ip and Wong fight their way outside to meet Jin Shanzhao the martial artist and former bandit in the first film who comes to their rescue with his own gang. Ip goes to the local wet market as directed, but the meeting ends in a confrontation with a growing mob of Hung Ga students. One of them challenges Wong to a fight and loses, but his friends take Wong hostage in revenge and demand a ransom from Ip. Wong is later caught posting promotional posters for the school by some Hung Gar students. Stunned and impressed by his skills, Wong and his friends become Ip's first students, bringing more disciples to help the school thrive. Wong leaves humiliated, only to return with some friends to gang up on him. One day, a young man named Wong Leung appears and promptly challenges Ip to a fight, but is easily defeated. There, Ip desires to open a school to propagate his art, as well as to make his living, but he has difficulty attracting students due to his lack of reputation in the city. Continuing from where the first film ended, Wing Chun master Ip Man and his family move to Hong Kong in the early 1950s after their escape from Foshan.The synopsis below may give away important plot points.
