Excellent book
NEW! Das erste Weng Chun Kung Fu Buch ist erhältlich !
another one
The book by Yip Chun was a good read too. Alot of Q & A along with the forms done by YC. It differs slightly from the Ho Kam Ming WC but is essentially the same (according to Buddy Wu). At this point I don’t know enough to know the differences but it is certainly an easy read with good pictures and a lot of Q & A with Yip Chun.

background info
At least lineage provides background info to the auther. It is like knowing the auther’s origin, be it Toronto Ont or Richmond BC, or does he/she have an eastern/western accent. Simple as that, no need to bring politics into the picture.
politics
yylee,
I assure you, the LAST thing I want to discuss is politics. That is the number one reason NOT to study WC. Some of the scraps you guys get into remind me more of grade school children than adults. I haven’t seen the like on this scale in any other MA.

Odie-Wan, I know how you feel about WC. I only like to look at the technical side of things, lineage information is useful when we want to look deeper at the practitioner’s WC “engine”, “structure”, or simply “where they got this from?” kind of information. BTW, my previous post was just to say to Kung-Lek that lineage info is not always harmful in discussions. Sometimes subtle lineage differences are the things that make MA exciting.
yylee- yes a solid lineage is indicative of where an art came from.
I agree 100%.
However, I have seen excellent martial skill in people with so called “questionable” lineages. They still got it, lineage or not and it can’t be denied, especially not via crossing hands. 
I have also seen terrible performances from people with so called “solid lineages”. Go figure.
I think there is too much emphasis on it these days when the measure is truly in the hands.

Good points Kung Lek. Good lineage can produce poor practitioners. Good “hands” can come from “bad” lineages.
But transmission of a well developed art does not always pass on from “good hands”. BUT-Good understanding of transmission AND good hands are not necessarily mutually exclusive and can help with good transmission… at least with several TCMAS that I know of where skill development in details benefit from careful
nurturing and practice- without mechanical imitation.

Why not do some searches online? There are loads of video clips including forms and other info about the system right here on the WWW.
It looks like the URL is incomplete. Could you please fill in the blanks. That would be…
