Master... Master!

Master.

Master, Old Master is back.

Has the Japanese girl
come with him?

Yes.

What does she look like?

Her lower... this...

Never mind.
She was ugly as a child.

Oh yeah? She'll be even uglier
now she's grown up.

That's right.

You forget you have
to pretend you're sick.

How?

Like Third Uncle the other day,
having a high fever.

A high fever-
but I don't have one.

Lie down first.

- Come.
- What are you doing?

Come, come on.

Come.

Ah To, what are you doing?

Sir, Young Master
has a high fever,

yet he wants hot tea.

Father.

The fever is really bad.

Well, why hasn't
a doctor been called?

I wanted to get a doctor,
but Ah To said there was no need.

Ah To, I rushed back
to arrange your wedding.

But you're sick,
so you should see a doctor quickly.

I'd rather die than be forced
into a marriage.

Nonsense, you've grown up
and should marry.

This alliance was arranged
when you were but a child.

The lady Kung Zi
grew up with you.

How could you call it
a forced marriage?

I'll never marry that Japanese girl
with the runny nose.

Kung Zi has grown

and is now a famous beauty
of Kyoto.

Ah To, her father has been
maintaining

a business relationship with us

and supported our company.

Besides, this marriage
has already been arranged

and she has arrived.
How can you refuse?

This is a transaction
and I won't accept it.

I had you brought back
to further your studies.

It seems you're more
muddled than ever.

No, I'm rather clear
on what's right and wrong.

This is a forced marriage.

You-

Stay calm.
Ah To, how could you-

Never mind. Shou, get a doctor.

- Goon
- Yes, sir.

I hope you are
comfortable here.

Rest well today.

Master... Master!

What? You-

Come... look.

Ah To, what happened to you?

- Is it really her?
- Yes.

Ah To.

Dad, I've forgotten how to say

"Long time no see. How are you?"
in Japanese.

Long time no see. How are you?

Long time no see. How are you?

How are you? Long time no see.

Kung Zi, your Chinese is so good.

Dad, did you teach her?

She has been learning from your dad
since she was a child.

Brother To, aren't you sick?
Rest well.

I'm not sick.

Come, have a drink.
Inside please.

The bride is here.

Why is the bride
dressed like that?

Yes, how could she wear white?

It's not lucky.

Look, even her shoes are white.

How can this be?

Prepare for the marriage rituals.

The groom and the bride will bow
three times to Old Master.

Why is she not kneeling?

- Indeed why!?
- I haven't seen anything like this.

- Yes.
- Kneel.

The groom and the bride will bow
three times to Old Master.

First bow.

Second bow.

Third bow.

Bow to relatives and guests.

Bow.

Again.

And again.

The noise we hear,
is that practicing or fighting?

I hear fighting.

Who is fighting?

Hasn't Master practiced
his kung fu this morning?

I don't think so.
He's only been married a few days.

How could he get up
this early to practice?

- Right.
- Master is beating his wife.

Nonsense.

Did you see it with your own eyes?

No, but we heard.

They're newlyweds,
so that seems unlikely.

Where did you hear it?

In the backyard.

Backyard!
Come, let's take a look.

He's really beating his wife.

I'll tell Old Master.

Let's go.

Chia Hui Liu

Kung Zi, good morning.

Good morning.

You're up early.
Did you have a good sleep?

I'm used to getting up
at 6:00 each morning to exercise.

Kung Zi?

It can't be.

I heard it with my own ears.
Really.

Dad?

Why don't you stay
for a few more days?

The business in Japan
needs taking care of.

Where's Kung Zi?

She's here.

"Japanese Seikendo All-Arounder"

Dad.

Give my regards to Father
when you return to Japan.

Say I'm happy here...

Yes.

And that my husband
is good to me.

Kung Zi,

we are lucky to have
a daughter-in-law like you.

After I'm gone, you-

Father, don't worry.

Ah To, a couple should
love each other.

If the husband bullies the wife,

that's most despicable.

- Kung Zi.
- Dad?

If he bullies you,
don't hesitate to report that to me.

Shou,

hey, what did you tell my dad?

I...

You made me
get a scolding from him, man.

No, I didn't, Master.

- Tell me.
- I really didn't.

Speak.

- Do I really have to?
- Tell the truth.

Master, you... you beat Madam.

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

Master, doesn't this sound like

beating your wife?

Come. Come here.

Master, are you okay?

What are you looking at?
Go on, scram!

Yes.

Kung Zi, have you finished?

Yes.

Go up and rest.

Sorry. I had no idea
you didn't know kung fu at all.

You aren't hurt I hope?

You think that I'm not at all
versed in martial arts?

What were you practicing
just now?

I was practicing karate at first...

but I threw you with judo.

- Anything wrong?
- This is unseemly.

Judo is Japan's
national martial art.

I know judo.

Your chest is exposed;
Isn't it embarrassing?

This is the uniform
for practicing...

and it facilitates
kicks and punches.

When a woman kicks like that

and is seen by gamblers,

they're sure to lose.

Don't Chinese women
practicing kung fu

punch and kick just the same?

It's slightly different.

Chinese girls need to be
concerned with propriety also-

look-with a stance like that.

How could you move?

This is advance, this is retreat.

This is called
the Chien Yeung stance.

How do you kick
with your leg then?

- Kick.
- I kicked.

- Kick again.
- I kicked again.

Chinese ladies,
when they perform serial kicks,

shouldn't necessarily be seen
by the enemy.

They are well-mannered
and proper.

You are well-mannered
like a lady.

But we Japanese ladies
are different.

We use great power when we fight.

Did I hurt you?

It's all right.
You can be rough

when you practice,

but don't yell
at the top of your voice.

Why not?

When people hear this,
they think I'm beating my wife.

Ah To,

this is the first time after marriage
you've come for training.

Have you forgotten
all your kung fu?

No, he hasn't.

He's a daily punching bag
for his wife.

In fact, his kung fu
must have improved.

What did you say?

What did I say?

I said your Japanese wife's
kung fu is real good.

She threw you
with only a slight effort

and you-

Stop!

- Who said that?
- Don't talk nonsense.

It's not nonsense.
Shou said it.

His wife gave
a kick and he saw it.

And then he always loses at gambling.
He hasn't won in a month.

You-

Master, mercy.
I speak the truth.

They exaggerated.
It's not my fault.

If you didn't say those things,
how would they know?

Master, she is your wife.

Only you could know these things.

How would I know?

Don't run.

Master, mercy.

Master, big problem.

The backyard is destroyed.

What?

The backyard.

What are you doing?

I am practicing kung fu.

Stop.

Why have you
demolished the wall

and smashed the statues?

There is no punching bag...

and no wooden boards.

How could I practice?

So I kicked the wall.

One, two, three,

four, five, six.

Madam, if you practice like this,
in less than six months

you will have demolished
the whole house.

Never mind.
Shou, get it repaired.

Yes. Yes.

Kung Zi, from now on
I forbid you to practice.

Why?

Kung Zi, if you really
love martial arts,

let me teach you Chinese kung fu.

Chinese kung fu?

Yes, because it is more

well-mannered
and proper for ladies.

I am not a Chinese lady.

But your husband is Chinese.
You should learn Chinese kung fu.

Your wife is Japanese.

Why don't you learn
Japanese martial arts?

You kick down a wall each day,

and if you go on like this

even our bedroom will collapse.

Kung Zi, can you

practice something else?

Don't worry.

- My training gear has almost arrived.
- What equipment is that?

Delivery from Japan.

It's not dowry, but weapons.

- Weapons?
- Swords too.

Kung Zi, these weapons-

I have asked for these weapons
to be sent from Japan.

Japanese sword.

Japanese kendo.

Heavens! What happened?

Master, look.

- Right.
- Also...

these are called Sai.

There's more.

- Madam.
- Kung Zi, you-

This is a spear.

Fine, you want to flee?

This is a chained hook,

designed for those
who want to run away.

- Kung Zi, stop it.
- There's more.

Ah To, you love to practice kung fu.
Why do you stop Kung Zi?

You don't know. She...

Will she train with you?

She practices Japanese martial arts
and nothing else.

There's no place at home
for her to practice.

Yes, there is. Doesn't your home
have a kung fu training hall?

Kung Zi has a strong character.

I'm afraid she doesn't like
the Chinese-style hall.

Master, big problem.

Madam has put
her Japanese weapons

in your training hall.

Good, let her practice there then.

No, she has moved
all your Chinese weapons

out of the hall.

Quickly, move them out.

Okay.

What are you doing?

It's not our fault.
It's ordered by Madam.

- Move them all back.
- Yes.

Move them out.

Also, move those out as well.

Stop.

Ah To.

Kung Zi, what do you
mean by this?

So there is
a proper training hall here.

If you had told me,

I needn't have practiced in the backyard
and demolished the wall.

Why have you
moved these weapons?

A good training hall
needs real weapons.

Kung Zi, but these are weapons.

I know nothing of these things

and they are worthless to me.

What? Worthless?

This is a sword,
the king of weapons.

Its history goes back
several thousand years.

It has been passed down to us

and there are many
styles of swordsmanship.

This is a diagram sword.

When you practice with it
it's like dancing.

Strong, powerful, fierce
and aggressive-a real sword!

All that noise, it's like a beggar
driving dogs away.

Nonsense.
Those who practice kendo

have a spiritual nexus
with the sword and hand.

How could you insult that?

You have a spiritual bond
with this worthless metal,

why don't you marry it then?

You-

Master, Madam,

stop, don't fight.

Please stop.

Which is a sword,
which is worthless?

Do you understand now?

Madam, your sword.

What you hold is not a spear.

This is a real spear.

En garde.

Master, Madam.

Please don't fight anymore.

Go and get Third Uncle. Quick.

Your spear technique

leaves too many openings.
You're too exposed.

Brute strength does not help.

Let me show you a few tricks.

This red plume
is known as a blood shield.

It can distract
the enemy's attention.

Also tie up
the opponent's weapon.

Third Uncle, quick, please.

Kung Zi, Ah To.

Ah To, stop fighting. Stop.

Third Uncle.

Look what you have done.

Kung Zi likes martial arts
and I'm teaching her kung fu.

I already lack adequate time
for Japanese martial arts.

- I have no time for your rubbish.
- You say Chinese kung fu is trash?

Yes, only Japanese martial arts
are effective and useful.

I say Japanese martial arts
are no good.

- I say Chinese kung fu is useless.
- You just lost to me-who is useless?

Ah To,

Kung Zi, each of your styles
has their own virtues.

Kung Zi, Kung Zi!

Madam.

Ah To.

Master, what should we do
with these weapons?

As you like.

Master!

Chinese on one side
and Japanese on the other.

Kung Zi, come sit here and eat.

You should kneel here and eat.

How could a martial artist
kneel so easily?

Japanese martial artists
kneel out of respect.

Long ago only those condemned
to be beheaded

would kneel and eat like this.

You are like them.

What do you mean
by throwing eggs?

This is a secret weapon.

Watch mine.

Now aren't you seated like me?

The table is too big to be
regarded as a secret weapon.

Kung Zi, your food is here.

Come and eat with me.

Forget it.

Ah Shou,
bring Madam's food over there.

- Yes, quick.
- I don't want it.

I won't eat the food
you've touched.

Forget it.

There are many kinds
of secret weapons in China.

This is known as coin dart.

This is the Japanese iron sea star.

This is flying needle.

This is flying ring.

This is flying dagger.

Japanese flying dagger.

This is flying dart.

Cross dart.

Mini flying guillotine.

Iron roulette ball.

What is it?

You didn't see it?
This is called a sleeve arrow.

Sleeve arrow?

This is a real secret weapon.

Good.

Is this hairpin
not a secret weapon?

Yes, I admire you.

Duck.

It's okay now.

Your movements are too broad
when using secret weapons.

It gives your opponents
a chance to duck.

See the famous back arrow?

It can catch
one's opponents off-guard.

Kung Zi, what are you doing?

Don't interfere.

I said leave me alone.

You-

Why are you angry?

It's so unreasonable losing your
temper so early in the morning.

Madam. Master.

Shou, the Japanese weapons-

including sword, spear,
stick and secret weapons-

have been passed on from China,

is that right?

This... yes.

- Speak.
- They've been passed from China.

No, Shou.

For over a thousand years,

Japan has had these weapons.

They just look similar
to Chinese weapons.

Is that right?

That's right.

Wrong.
Even your Japanese characters

- have been evolved from Chinese.
- Yes.

We're talking about martial arts,
not literature.

- We're talking about martial arts.
- It's the same.

- It's the same-
- No way. If it's martial arts,

- then let's fight.
- Let's spar then.

What do we compete on?

- Madam.
- Anything.

Master, Madam,
don't fight anymore.

Master, Madam, I-

Shou.

- Look, you caused it.
- No, you did.

- You moved first.
- You first suggested we fight.

Well, let's not fight here.

- Where then?
- In the training hall.

This Chinese move is
known as a block hand.

This is Chinese leg strike.

This is the scissor leg strike.

This is the Buddha's closed palm.

Judo.

- Send it now.
- Third Uncle!

They are fighting again.

Come down.

Watch me.

Again.

Look.

Stop fighting.

Ah To, stop fighting.

This is known as
"Cripple Li Carrying Water."

Still want to fight?

Your stick is shorter
than mine. You'll lose.

Kung Zi...

Madam...

Ah To, how can you-

Shou.

Master, is this right?

Oh, you!

Kung Zi, why are you hiding?

Do you give in
and dare not come out?

I'm waiting for you.

Ah To.

Do you give in'?

Give in? Look at your outfit,
what is it?

This is ninjitsu,
you ignorant fool.

Properly practiced,
its power is boundless.

A moment ago
you were at my mercy.

Had I used more gunpowder,

you'd have been blown to pieces.

If the dagger had been poisoned,
you would have died.

Are there such martial arts
in China?

Of course.

But they are better known
as ambush.

Poison, lethal gas, secret arrows-

these are forbidden
in the Chinese kung fu world.

Only treacherous villains
use them.

What more insults do you have?
Let's hear them once and for all.

I'm not insulting you, it's the truth.

The way of kung fu emphasizes
being fair and open.

To win is the most
important thing.

No doubt,
but so is the method one uses.

- This is too low.
- You're calling me low?

Not you.

I'm referring to the ninja skills.
Just drop them.

You don't even know
the history of ninjitsu.

I wouldn't want to learn about
something so underhanded,

- even if you told me.
- You-

Ignorant bull, you know nothing
of Japan martial arts.

You're not worthy
of fighting with me.

Stop.

The starry kick.

Lion rolling ball.

Back kick.

Ah To, whom have you
been fighting with?

No one, but...

Ah To, how many times
have I told you?

Don't think that

just because you know kung fu,

you can fight anytime you want.

You should learn humility.

This is the true martial arts way.

Yes.

Whom have you been fighting with?

Someone...

someone said
Japanese martial arts

are better than Chinese kung fu
in every aspect.

I couldn't accept that,

so I fought with this person
in every category

and I won each time.

You haven't yet met a truly-skilled
Japanese master.

Who would that be?

Could you bring him to our school

and let him show us a few tricks?

Teacher, this...

Right, widen our horizons!

Stop.

It's difficult to invite her

because her gear

has been confiscated by me.
How could she face us?

Master.

Master.

Shou, when did she leave?

Early in the morning.

As soon as you were gone
she packed up and left.

- Why didn't you stop her?
- Master, she-

You should have told me sooner.

Master, it's because
I wanted to tell you

that I got a kick from Madam.

However, if I don't tell you,

you'll slap me.

- Where are Third Uncle and Aunty?
- They...

Third Uncle, Aunty.

The boat has departed.

Welcome. This way, please.

Master, the guests are here.

Please.

Tai Long.

Please sit.

Has Kung Zi written back?

A young couple fighting
is unavoidable.

There is a Chinese saying:

A father-in-law has to pretend
to be blind and deaf!

Fortunately, Kung Zi is smart

or I would not see her again.

What are you saying?

Kung Zi...

It's Ah To's fault.
I'll teach him a lesson.

It's too late.
Kung Zi won't return.

What?
Kung Zi has returned to Japan?

Yes, follow me.

I've been a long time in Hong Kong
but you haven't written.

Yes, I've been busy, that's why.

Who is this man?

He...

Kung Zi, a broken marriage
is a painful thing.

Kung Zi?

Dad.

"Ninjitsu"

Every problem can be talked over
and resolved.

Why have you come back to Japan?
Does Ah To know?

I have no idea.
I've been back a few days.

This Ah To, he should have
come to Japan with you.

Are you...

Kung Zi is my daughter-in-law!
Let go.

Please let go.

He...

Meet the famous martial artist

Takeno the ninja.

Kung Zi,

practice hard if you don't
want to be bullied.

Kung Zi, come back with me.
I'll get Ah To to apologize to you.

Until I have accomplished
my training I won't return.

Let's go.

Farewell.

Kung Zi! Kung Zi...

Since childhood they've
practiced martial arts

and have been real close;
You ought to return soon.

Have Ah To ask her back,
otherwise-

All right, I understand.
I'll go immediately.

Master.

Leave me alone, the moonlight
leads the way home.

Dad, you're back.

Ah To, Kung Zi has
returned to Japan.

Why didn't you go after her?

What is she to me?

She's your wife,
for God's sake!

Wife?

I suggest you go to Japan
and apologize to her.

- Father-
- I tell you,

if you don't, you'll be risking
this relationship.

In Japan there's a martial artist
called Takeno

who is real close to Kung Zi.

I don't care.

You... stand right there.
Did you hear what I said?

Brother, let it go.

You've just arrived.
Leave everything till tomorrow.

Yes, take it easy.

Ah To, you go too far.

Master.

What is it?

Master, I-

Oh God, my back!

Master, I have a way
which will work.

You're up to your nonsense again.

Oh, my butt!

This is for real.

This will help get Madam back
so you needn't go to Japan.

Really?

Of course.

Master, sit down first.

Please sit.

Come, take it.

Come.

- What do you think?
- Good.

Correct?

Yes.

You're progressing quickly.

Kung Zi.

I regret burying myself
so deep in martial arts training.

Otherwise you would
have been my wife.

Mr. Takeno.

Ms. Kung Zi, a letter for you.

A challenge letter.

"Kung Zi, I hear Japan
has martial arts too."

The martial arts have
a long history

and originated in China.

Chinese kung fu is famous
the world over,

while Japanese martial arts
are comparatively insignificant

and it was proved
Chinese kung fu is better.

Back in Japan you must have
progressed in your skills

and if you are up
for a contest with me-

regardless of what
martial arts you use-

as long as you win in one category,
I'll admit to losing.

Ah To.

What do you think?

Teacher, what should we do?

- "Japanese Martial World Pioneer"
- Kung Zi,

is your Chinese husband
good at kung fu?

Well, he-

According to the letter, he is.

I want to see for myself.

Teacher, I'll go too.

- "Black Belt Judo"
- Teacher, I'll go too.

- "Royal Kendo"
- Teacher, I'll go too.

- "Coach of Yali"
- Teacher, I'll go too.

- "Head of a Karate Gymnasium"
- I'll go too, Teacher.

- "Double-Section-Pole Expert"
- I'll go too, Teacher.

- "Sai Expert"
- Teacher, I'll go too.

Goodbye, Ms. Kung Zi.

"Ho's Residence"

Wait and see.

Madam will return today.

In fact, right now, she might-

there she is.
Wow, so many relatives!

Where's Madam?

Where's Ho To?

You must be her brother.
You're her grandfather.

You're her uncle.
You're her cousin.

You're her brother.

Is... is this not
a challenge letter?

Yes, we have come
to take up the challenge.

Then you're not-

Quick, ask Ho Toto see me.

Master.

Master, at the gate-gate-

What is it?

You're-

Are you Ah To?

Yes.

I am Takeno.

Your fame precedes you.

Thank you.

Meet Japan's
famous senior master Kato.

My specialty is ninjitsu.

These are the masters of various
Japanese martial arts.

We have come
to take up your challenge.

The challenge?

I have no quarrel
with Japanese martial arts.

There must be some
misunderstanding.

Did you write this?

"To Kung Zi"

Yes.

That was written to my wife.

How did you get it?

Kung Zi is Japanese.

If you challenge her,

it's the same
as you challenging us.

This is between us
as husband and wife.

She is no longer your wife.

What... did you say?

Master.

He is a Japanese kendo expert,

and you hold a Chinese sword.

Why don't you see who's better?

I have no such intention.

You're pretty good, kid.

Why don't you take my sword?

You Chinese have no manners.

You Japanese are ill-mannered.

I fear you not.
I can fight all of you together.

Don't worry.

We Japanese don't do
such dishonorable things.

He is the next competitor.

He is a karate expert in Japan.

It'll be one on one.

I'll arrange a time with you.

Ah To, you are
in great trouble.

I never thought
it would be like this.

Teacher, since the Japanese are here,
we must not let them think we're weak.

We can gather all the kung fu experts
and hold a martial arts competition.

Yes! Right!

Wang Shun Keung,

it's all right if we fight to share

our martial arts experience.

But if we beat this bunch,

another bunch will come.

Inevitably, some people will get hurt.
Think about it.

Is this our purpose
in practicing kung fu?

Teacher, what are we going to do?

We can't let Ah To
face them all by himself.

He surely is no match for them.

Wang Chun Keung, Teacher is right.

We shouldn't let things
get out of hand.

They are here for a competition.

I'll face them one by one.

Even if I lose,

it'll just concern me.

It'd have nothing to do
with the Chinese martial world.

It's good that you understand.

Your kung fu foundation is not bad.

You may not lose in every bout.

You've won in fencing today.

Tomorrow's karate fight is
about kicks and punches.

The Japanese's power in using
the palm strike is great.

It may be difficult to handle
your opponent.

You are no match for him.

Ah To, you don't have to be
so disheartened.

Chinese kung fu has many forms
and movements.

In comparison Japanese
fist styles are limited.

Teacher, which kind
of kung fu should I use?

Face him with Shaolin Arahat Fist;
Force against force.

No, you can use any style,
as a matter of fact.

But I think if you want to win,

you should use soft skills
against power.

Japanese fist styles are
powerful and explosive.

You must fight with agility
and variations

while attacking with force.

Teacher, how should one fight?

Drunken boxing.

"Master So"

I'll go plead with him.

Ah To, it's no use.

You know Uncle
doesn't teach others.

Then what should I do?

Come here.

If Teacher knows about this,
we're dead.

It's for you to learn drunken boxing.
Teacher wouldn't blame us.

Go.

Again, again.

Kid, if you want to sit, I'll let you.

Go on, quick.

He's not moving.

Try again.

We've suffered
a number of blows already.

It's your turn.

Ah To, have you learnt it?

Yes, but it's somewhat unclear.

Unclear?

Try again.

Dreamy eyes...

power in softness.

Turn with your hip...

and be light of foot.

Ah To, do you understand

what he just demonstrated?

Almost.

There are people here.
Let's practice in the school.

All right, go home and practice.

Good bye.

Ah To.

Kung Zi, you're back.

How could you write
such a challenge letter?

It's from me to you.

Who asked you
to disclose it to others?

I...

Did you think I would be scared

by the large group of people
you've brought?

I didn't bring those guys.

If I lose, it'll just mean
shame for me. No big deal!

When the kendo master
presented you with the sword,

why did you ignore him?

When did he
present me with the sword?

He wanted to give you his sword
as a sign he yielded.

This is the highest form of respect

according to the samurai spirit.

Oh, that's why he wanted
to present me with his sword.

You should have received it
with both hands.

You'd instantly
have become friends

and that would
have buried the hatchet.

Now?

As you have declined his respect,

he will take this as a great insult

and might kill himself by seppuku.

So it will not be
an ordinary competition.

They must use
every effort to beat you.

Master, Master!

The Japanese have delivered
a challenge letter.

"We'll await you at the Goat's Ridge
at noon tomorrow.

Takeno."

Gentlemen, I started this.

Owing to a slight
misunderstanding on my part,

you all had to come to China.

Please plead with them
on my behalf.

Kung Zi, I cannot accept
that your husband

has been bullying
his Japanese wife.

I am here to fight
for your honor.

I don't want you to.

Kung Zi-

Ah To.

Why did you plead with them?

You have shamed your husband.

We Chinese will not back off.

Sir, please instruct me.

How could you get drunk
before a fight?

How could you drink?

Tell him

this is the famous
drunken boxing.

It's the Chinese drunken boxing.

Stop, you've lost.

Teacher, let me try again.

I've lost, you can do
what you like with me.

Wasn't it agreed I'd fight
one master each day?

Yes, he'll wait for you
at your place tomorrow.

Madam.

Following...

The opponent has a nunchaku
in his right hand

and a short stick in his left hand.

It is similar to-

Sword and stick
in Chinese kung fu, right?

Yes.

But the weapons
are slightly different.

His weapon
is rare even in Japan.

Then his style must have
many variations.

What weapon
will you use against him?

Double-section pole...

stick...

- Shou?
- Then he lost.

Master.

- Get me a three-sectioned staff.
- Yes.

Good.
He uses a stick and nunchaku

which are like
the three-sectioned staff; This is fair.

There are many variations
with the three-sectioned staff.

Your three-sectioned staff is
longer than my nunchaku.

I have lost.

Madam, he must have said

his weapon is shorter,
that's why he's lost.

Yes.

Don't be too happy!
There's still tomorrow.

Master, I have lost.

Tomorrow.

Follow me.

Stop fighting.

Master...

Are you ready?

He asked if you're ready.

Wasn't I going to fight
one opponent each day?

- Wasn't this the arrangement?
- Yes.

What is he doing?

What are you doing?

I'm waiting.

He's waiting.

Waiting?

Would you be waiting till dawn?

You-

Are you really
going to wait here?

All right then, suit yourself.

Wait! It's tomorrow now.

He said it's a new day now.

A new day? It isn't dawn yet.

It isn't dawn yet.

Look.

It's past 12:00,
that means a new day.

He said it's past 12:00
so it's a new day now.

You're sly.

You won't even let me rest.

You won't let him rest.

- You dare not fight, huh?
- What? I'll fight with you.

Master.

- You admit defeat?
- He asked if you admit defeat.

Master...

You're sly to have smeared
oil on your body.

He said you're sly to have
smeared oil on your body.

You've come to look
for master at this late hour-

you're the sly one.

You've come to look for him
this late, you're sly.

Are you fighting?
If not you lose.

He says if you don't fight you lose.

I must fight.

Come on.

He has fallen.

You're not fighting anymore?

I've lost.

He-

He said he's lost.

He's called Never Topple-
admits defeat when he's fallen.

He should have fallen long ago.

What a strange person.
His kung fu is good.

He is not the best.
Wait till you meet Takeno.

His ninjitsu could appear anytime

and take you by surprise.

Master, I have a better idea.

Kung Zi.

I'll wait for you
at Clear Water Pond.

You're a disgrace to the Chinese
if you don't come.

Old Sir, where is
Clear Water Pond?

Clear Water Pond, you say?

Clear Water Pond.
Clear Water Pond.

Oh, Clear Water Pond...

it's over there.

Thanks.

I'll take you.

Wait for me.

Come along.

Thanks.

This is the use
of deceptive tactics

in ninjitsu.

- Good.
- Watch our ninja sword.

First round you win.
I'll await you at Clear Water Pond.

Well?

Do you admit to losing
to ninjitsu?

What else have you got?

Watch the Japanese crab fist-
you might not know it.

Good.

This is the Chinese Crane Fist.

Master, I've finally won.

Don't kill him,
just teach him a lesson.

I want to chop off his hands.

Ho To, your breath-holding
technique

is of the highest order

even among ninjitsu techniques.

I admire that.

I don't think that is
of the highest order.

The highest order is following
the martial arts way.

Do you agree?

Sir, please interpret for me.

I wish to explain
to all masters.

The challenge letter

wasn't written to challenge
the Japanese martial world,

but to swiftly bring my wife back.

I didn't expect it to cause
such misunderstanding.

Also being unfamiliar
with samurai etiquette,

I didn't accept the sword
presented by the kendo master,

thus unintentionally
insulting the samurai spirit.

Also I've had a chance to witness
the various types

of Japanese martial arts which
command my highest respect.

Please accept my sword.
