偉仔傷癒特訓練詠春《一代宗師》11月開拍

王家衛的《一代宗師》籌備8年終於開工有期，定於11月正式開拍。早前梁朝偉因練武而左手前臂骨折，經兩個月療傷，偉仔的傷勢已痊癒。日前偉仔已重新投入連串武術與體能訓練，連指導詠春拳的師傅也讚他領悟力高又身手靈活。偉仔準備以最佳狀態投入《一代宗師》的拍攝。

療傷期間保持適量運動

偉仔日前到武館跟葉紹鴻師傅與師兄弟練習，他稱受傷期間要暫停練功，但仍保持做適量的運動，因功夫這回事永遠也練不夠。偉仔表示過去兩個月是悠長假期，在醫生叮囑下他暫停劇烈運動，起碼三個月療傷。他休息了個多星期便開始做運動，以鍛煉體能並Keep Fit。每天跑步一至兩小時外，他又安排約兩小時的單手gym運動令手腳更靈活。偉仔跑步時免手臂搖晃觸及患處，故他只有紮手臂並握拳練跑，在街上遇到途人皆會關心問候他的傷勢，又提醒他小心身體。

被睇好演葉問最佳人選

梁師傅對偉仔這位徒弟的表現感滿意，特別欣賞他受傷期間永不言棄的精神令人佩服。他睇好偉仔演葉問這角色，認為他的氣質、形態與內歛的性格皆跟葉問師傅相近，是圈中最適合的人選。

Tony Leung's Injury Has Recovered, Begins Training Wing Chun
'The Grand Master' Starts Filming in November

Already eight years in the making, Wong Kar Wai's 'The Grand Master' will officially start filming in November. As Tony had broke his arm training for the movie, filming was delayed for two months while he recovered. Earlier on, Tony began training anew and has fully immersed himself into martial arts again. Even the Wing Chun masters who have been training Tony have praised his understanding and skill in Wing Chun. Tony is preparing to film 'The Grand Master' in his best form.

Does Light Exercises While Recovering

Tony's been training at the martial arts school under the guidance of Master Yip Siu Hung and his disciples. While he had to stop training during his recovery period, Tony was still able to do light exercises. He says that kung fu training is something you can never get enough of anyway. Tony expressed that the past two months have been like an extended holiday. His doctor had strongly advised him to wait at least three months before doing any vigorous activity. After resting for a few weeks, he began exercising again to keep his body in shape. Everyday he'll run for one or two hours. He also arranged for one-handed fitness sessions at the gym to keep his arms and legs in shape. In order to keep his arm immobile while running, he had to bandage it tightly to prevent any movement. Whenever he saw people on the streets, they would kindly ask him how his recovery was going and reminded him to be more careful.

Best Actor to Play Yip Man

Master Leung has been very satisfied with Tony's performance. He especially admired Tony's 'never give up' attitude. He has high hopes for Tony in the role of Yip Man. He believes Tony's spirit, appearance and comprehension is very similar to Master Yip Man and is the ideal candidate to play him.

梁朝偉手傷恢復開始練功

【聯合報╱記者項貽斐／台北報導】 2009.09.29 03:44 am

梁朝偉為「一代宗師」勤練功。

日前為電影「一代宗師」練武時不慎左手骨折的梁朝偉，經過兩個月治療後，傷勢已漸恢復，可是即使在療傷期間他仍未鬆懈，每天至少運動3小時。最近他重新投入武術特訓，讓負責指導的詠春拳大師梁紹鴻都認為偉仔已準備好，只要導演王家衛一聲開麥拉，隨時都可上陣。

儘管梁朝偉形容這兩個月的休息有如放長假，醫師也交代療傷期間暫停劇烈運動且至少要休息三個月才能完全康復，但認真敬業的梁朝偉只休養一個多星期就開始做運動以保持最佳身型。養傷期間，偉仔每天做約兩個小時的單手運動，鍛練手腳肌肉及靈活度，另外跑步1到2小時，為避免跑步手臂搖晃影響左手前臂骨折處，偉仔還會綁住手臂並握緊拳頭練習。

最近傷勢復原良好，梁朝偉又開始練功，日前在武館與師傅和一班師兄練習時，有板有眼，身手靈活。偉仔說，雖然受傷期間要暫停練功，但他並未鬆懈，因他知道功夫這回事永遠也練不夠。他坦承，重新練功有些陰影，但現在練習時手臂會戴上護套。要詮釋一代詠春拳大師葉問並不容易，可是在梁朝偉師父梁紹鴻眼中，偉仔無論氣質、外在與內歛的性格都與葉問神似。「一代宗師」可望在一、兩個月內開鏡，屆時偉仔即可一展身手。
