A list of some well written and well researched WC related articles. The guy who runs this site and posts 'often' seems to be a very competent man with regards to TCMA history. There's tons of thought provoking articles related to both WC and Chinese Martial Studies. Enjoy!

The Story of Ip Man’s Wooden Dummy
http://chinesemartialstudies.com/2013/06/24/the-story-of-ip-mans-wooden-dummy/

--------------------------------------------------------Koo Sang replicated Fung Shek's dummy exactly.
I have a Koo Sang dummy which I got from Fong Sifu when I was opening the first wing chun school in New Mexico (Las Cruces) in1979-1980.

My friend Alan Lamb (originally from UK now on the US) at one time was a student of Koo Sang and he and other students helped Koo Sang make the dummies

I have not read the other articles yet. Thanks wc1277 for the links.
