The authors have successfully traced the lineages and history of eight Wing Chun styles and present them here as the masters of the respective arts have passed them down through oral traditions. This is particularly insightful as it not only presents many points of view on a variety of topics—such as the real meaning of the term Wing Chun—but stays true to the teachings and traditions of each system by the authors not adding in their own thoughts. All of this information is then presented side-by-side for the interested reader to cross check and make his own decision as to what he chooses to believe and how he then interprets the art form. Given their in-depth research into the many Wing Chun systems, the authors then draw together the various oral histories with fact and construct, in the Conclusion, what they believe to be the actual history and development of the art and its many collateral systems. A detailed Glossary is also presented, with the corresponding Chinese characters for further reference and interpretation.
