Together, they guide Li and a new generation of fighters through emotional and physical trials that test their strength, discipline, and resolve.

The pacing keeps adrenaline high, yet the film also makes room for heartfelt moments that explore legacy, identity, and what it means to carry forward the teachings of past masters.
