IP Man

Ordinary World-
Chinese Kung Fu Master, greater than all other kung fu masters.  Just wanting to live his life with his family
Call to Adventure-
WWII, Japanese takes over china and he tries to survive with his family.
Refusal of the call-
Japanese keep asking all Chinese to fight against Japanese soldiers and Ip man Refuses.  He avoids all violence until it is absolutely necessary.
Meeting the Mentor-
He was his own mentor.  He realized that he needs to fight to keep his family alive and to keep china itself alive.
Crossing the Threshold-
Goes from working to get rice to feed his family and himself to fighting to stand up for the Chinese and to protect his family.
Tests, Allies, Enemies-
His only allies are his brother and his workers. Enemies are the Japanese and a select few of the chinese who have betrayed their country.  He challenged the Japanese to fight 10 of the japanese soldiers and he kicked their a$$'s.
Approach-
He teaches his brothers workers how to fight for themselves.  He realizes that he is the only one who can save the people.
Ordeal-
He fought the Japanese leader/General and killed him with a his eyes closed, not really, but it was that easy.  He got shot by one of the Generals men and fell off of the stage.
Reward-
He survived and moved to Hong Kong, started a school of martial arts there.  As a matter of fact he was Bruce Lee's Mentor.
