Do you want to start your journey into Wong Shun Leung Ving Tsun? If you are teaching WSL Ving Tsun, do you understand Sifu Cliff Au Yeung's martial arts experience? This book was written to give you that unique insight.
I, personally, am grateful for this book. For the martial artist-- particularly the isolated Wing Chun practitioner with little expectation of ever seeing Hong Kong--this is a worthwhile read. Some will have issues with the limited command of the English language; but throughout the text, the author apologizes for his shortcomings. Rather, we should focus on the revelations of time, study and experience Sifu Cliff presents as a student of the late Wong Shun Leung. The book is divided, to my reading, in three sections. The first concerns itself with Wong' s life. Second is an overview of Wong' s concentration and teachings during various eras of his career. Finally, we get reflection on Sifu Cliff' s career as student and teacher. This is a labor of love, and Sifu Cliff--thank you.
