Summary: path TO wing chun
Review: As the book title suggests, it is the Path To Wing Chun, not the Path Through Wing Chun. It is excellent for the beginner, with all the information and background to the art that you need to know. All the techniques are true to Wing Chun, and not the modified versions that you find in the better known books (W.Cheung). I give it top marks because it is a modest book and is not trying to sell itself by pretending to teach you Wing Chun if you buy it and read it a couple of times a week.

Summary: Student of Samuel Kwok, United Kingdom
Review: This book is both good and bad. Sifu Kwok is an excellent Wing Chun expert and a knowledge of the art which surpasses a lot of more famous Wing Chun artists. The book does explain the first form Sil Lim Tao, in good enough depth, and demonstrates basic techniques well enough. It isn't however, a bible of Wing Chun, nor does it have any advanced techniques in it. .... What this book is good for though, is the history of wing chun and background to the martial art. It contains information on all the students of Yip Man, as well as those whom Sifu Kwok has taught and are now instructors all over the world. It also contains a lot of information on where to get information if you want to be taught Wing Chun. It also contains a lot of photographs of which aren't really found anywhere else of Yip Man and his two sons. .... If you want a lot of background on the art and also want to be able to practice the first form, then buy it. Sifu Kwok teaches Wing Chun in the Original style that Yip Man taught it, with none of the useless modifications that are found in other instructors books.
