Wong Wah Bo was not a person who divided long SLT set into 3 forms , he was just one of the ancestors who may participated in the process or got already finished material . Leung Jan prior to WCK training practiced some other arts ,like snake style , and today we do not know what he taught in Foshan . He also learned the 3 forms version and long SLT set version from his teachers . I know it is not easy to accept other versions of history as possible after knowing and believing in one version that was predominant , actually the only one for such a long time , like Yip Man's version of history. but as new evidence surface people should keep their minds open . The truth is , we cannot give any definitive conclusion regarding WCK history because professional research was never done, especially about the time before 1911 . I hope upcoming book from Foshan Wushu museum will shed more light on the mater , that would be the first book about WCK history published after a professional research conducted by a professional historian . I am sure that book will give the answer to all the questions , but I hope it will resolve at least some.
