That sounds a lot like 'sword of doom' with Tatsuya Nakadai.  Except that
the 'hero' (Nakadai) does the killing, the master of the school is sort
of a good guy and the son or brother of the deceased trains day and night
for revenge only never really gets his chance.  Several interwoven plots
end abruptly when at a random moment the final fight scene as you describe
takes place.  Actually, it sounds like another movie, and I think I've
seen it also, but can't remember the name.  It's been awhile.  Sorry.
