Ip Mans senior student, Wong Shun-Leung was the man who made Wing Chun famous in Hong Kongs challenge matches. He was also a close friend and mentor to Bruce Lee. Sifu Loukas Kastrounis, one of the few active teachers of this lineage, is a highly respected Wing Chun teacher who has spent his life honing and developing Wing Chun.
Written at the request, and in collaboration with Sifu Loukas Kastrounis-a third generation master of the Wong Shun-Leung lineage, it is the fruit of over 5 years of my careful observations and research into Loukass teachings as both his student and as a professional historian.Munawar Ali Karim
