The books themselves never give a name to the WCK that they contain. Nor do they outline a lineage of teachers. But to me they look primarily like Yip Chun's WCK with possibly a few variations in the forms that come from Pan Nam WCK. There are far better books out there.

I really liked these books.

Explanations are clear and concise. Photos are good. Needless repetitions and lineage posturing are avoided. All the basic sets are presented.

What I don't agree with was the use of Lama Pai and Muay Thai to augment WC, but then I don't use WC in the same way Leong does. But at least these guys are thinking about fighting.

I use these books as reference material from time to time, though my delivery and application of the moves are COMPLETELY different.
