I just had a few questions. Your help is greatly appreciated.
#1 What is the best reference material I can get my hands on as a secondary aid to my teachers instruction? Is there a book, dvd or website that describes this style or shows some applications and how it can be applied?
#2 How legit are these video?

-the beginning of the second video looks like the form that a guy near me teaches
#3 Is 5 Animal Kung Fu an effective combat art?
#4 How does it compare to Wing Chun?
In all seriousness, the only thing I have to go off of is some wing chun training I did. I found it very practical and very effective. Is 5 Animal the same way? Does it have applications? Or is it just forms? What is the difference between 5 Animal and Wing Chun? What can I expect to see from the art? I have a great respect for the arts, but I am mainly looking for effective fighting methods. No nonsense, just straight to the point, logical, effective combat techniques. And if you guys think I should just stick with Wing Chun, tell me.
Thanks for your help.
