Mi Zong is one of China's great styles. This fourth volume in the series (see SC 218) covers Lost Track's weapons: including the Four Grandparents (saber, spear, staff and sword), the two-headed spear (highly appropriate to a style called "Lost Track"), the the Green Dragon Kuan (Moon) Knife, the crescent hook spear, the Big Sweeper (two section staff), the three sectional staff and the Pu Dao. Whew! A lot of instruction for a single book.

LOST TRACK Style Kung Fu #3: SELF DEFENSE- SC 615
by Li Yu Chuan

$ 12.95 Simplified Chinese Characters

251 pages, Soft bound, Photographs.
Mi Zong is one of China's great styles. This third volume is dedicated to showing the self defense aspects. Said to be based on Xin Yi, the movements are surprising straight forward. In fact this is an unusually direct and practical book. Unlike most "self defense" texts this one spends time on what we call "leading edge." It then shows Mi Zong's distinctive flavor in that every combination has a "true" and a "false" aspect. Hundreds of photos.

3 STAR CANON BOXING - SC 614

$ 17.95 Simplified Chinese Characters

We have darn few boxes on this traditional and old style of Wu Shu. But this one makes up for much of that by being so comprehensive. Probably over 1000 photograph and illustrations cover a large part of the system. Hand sets in numbered series, such as Road #4, three of the four basic weapons, stretches, hand and body conditioning, A pretty complete book.

Kung Fu Book
EAGLE HAND Boxing - SC 613
by Guo Xie He
$15.50 Simplified Chinese Characters

350 Pages, Softbound. Photographed.
Eagle Hand is also known as Eagle Claw and is related to Yue Family boxing by claiming, as many branches do, an inheritance from the famous general and martial hero,Yuen Fei. This is what one might call Ying Shou San Shou concentrating on the applications of the movements. Many pictures pretty clearly illustrate the separate actions then their usage. Eagle Claw always mixes striking and grappling actions in the best tradition of real Kung Fu. A nicely conceived and executed book.

Wu Dang Kung Fu
SECRETS OF WU DANG SHORT STRIKING SKILLS - SC 612
WUDANG MIZHUAN TUANDA JUEJI
by You Ming-Sheng and Zhao Rong
$12.50 Simplified Chinese Characters

313 Pages, Softbound. Photographed.
Lots of photos in this book about Wu Dang fist striking. Dressed in the traditional attire of a Taoist monk, the demonstrator shows a number of short sets including 6 Step Fist and Bright Moon Boxing. Each form is broken down as far as application. there is also a section on hands versus weapons and short weapons versus weapons. An appendix gives a number of Taoist relaxation exercises. We have only rarely had this companion to our other WuDang Short Weapons book (SC 408) so, to our knowledge, this is the rest of the series.
