Wing Chun Kung Fu Advanced

New!! Tai Kong Quan - SC 129
by Liu Qi Rong: Founder

$16.95 Simplified Chinese Characters

147 pages Softbound. Photographs (color frontpieces).
It's not often we welcome fully recognized new martial styles. After a lifetime of study in Piqua, Tongbei, Shaolin, Tai Chi, Bagua and Xing Yi, creator Liu developed a style known as Great Emptiness composed of a hand set and a ZiWu staff. The key points to this Tai Chi like branch is that each section of the master set concentrates on a specific skills. For instance Section #1 concentrates on soft technique; #2 on leg attacks; #3 on throwing; #4 on issuing energy; #5 on neutralizing energy and so on. The line drawings of the master form are a bit sketchy but this is probably the first major text of this style gaining acknowledgement inside and outside of China.
