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.
