Three masters, one student, one killer

The film

A young man is forbidden by his grandfather to learn kung fu, so he leaves home to find teachers on his own. He studies with three masters, each with a different style, until a mysterious killer begins murdering them one by one. To avenge them, he has to combine everything they taught him. The structure gives the film a nice variety of training sequences and fighting styles, and the mystery of the killer's identity keeps it moving between fights.
