The project was announced almost 10 years before its final release, due to director Kar Wai Wong's endless perfectionism. Several other motion pictures about the Ip Man that were conceived after this announcement (most famously Yip Man (2008) and Ip Man 2, le retour du grand maître (2010)) were all released in the meantime.

Wing Chun is a Chinese martial art that emphasizes short-range practical combat with direct punches and blocks and low kicks. Its practitioners are trained to quickly approach and engage opponents at close range. This can negate the longer range of taller opponents by attacking from inside their offensive perimeter.

Bruce Lee trained in Wing Chun and later developed his own hybrid martial arts philosophy, Jeet Kune Do ("The Way of the Intercepting Fist.")

Tony Chiu Wai Leung trained four hours a day for a year in preparation for his role as Ip Man.

In some of the Hong Kong scenes, Ip Man practices on an apparatus made from a wooden post and dowels. This is the Wooden Dummy, used for Wing Chun open hand technique development and strength training. It also furthers the practitioner's understanding of angles, positions, footwork, and balance.

One reason for the long development time of the movie was that the film spent over a year in editing before director Kar Wai Wong was satisfied.

Official submission of Hong Kong to the Oscars 2014 best foreign language film category.
