Ip Man's senior student, Wong Shun-Leung was the man who made Wing Chun
famous in Hong Kong's challenge matches. He was also a close friend and
mentor to Bruce Lee. This book's author, Sifu Loukas Kastrounis, one of
the few active teachers of this lineage, is a highly respected Wing Chun
teacher who has spent his life honing and developing Wing Chun.
*"Written at the request, and in collaboration with Sifu Loukas
Kastrounis-a third generation master of the Wong Shun-Leung lineage, it
is the fruit of over 5 years of my careful observations and research
into Loukas's teachings as both his student and as a professional
historian."--*Munawar Ali Karim
