#EWC77 Wing
Chun Kung-Fu
by Dr. Joseph Wayne Smith
103 pages, softbound, photographs
See this under our "hurt books" section
This
book was designed to be the beginning of a series but it definitely stands alone. Dr. Smith gives a photographic summary of the three main hand forms of Wing Chun, all in one book. But of more interest is his analysis, as he says according to scientific principles, of the system as represented in its basics and in the forms. The last section of the book shows applications and continues his argument. Not everyone will agree with his conclusions as to the best stance for fighting, etc. , but we completely agree with the enlivened scrutinizing of these ancient but still relevant key points . |
#EWC95 Wing
Chun Warrior
by Ken Ing M.D.
220 pages, Hardbound, photographs and line drawings
US $ 29.95
This
new book is wonderfully informal and chatty as well as instructive.
Ken Ing, helps to describe the art of Sifu Duncan Leung who, it
seems, is a FIGHTING Wing Chun teacher. Leung was originally introduced
to Yip Man by his boyhood friend Bruce Lee. Leung became Yip Man's
personal disciple for some years and during that time engaged
in - by his own admittance - hundreds" of fights to test
his prowess. Many, many stories and personal revelations that
should be fascinating, intriguing and occasionally infuriating
to students of this style and those interested in the clouds surrounding
the Hong Kong days of Bruce Lee and others. Comic style drawings
re-enact incidents and challengers from Leung's life. This is really an interesting text. It tries to
give the spirit of the style as seen from Leung's standpoint and
makes no bones about suggesting that much Wing Chun training is
incomplete. However, unlike so much martial bragging we get the
impression from this spirited text that Leung wants the best for
the style and the students. This is the story of someone who has,
at least by all reports, tested the style. His no-nonsense approach
shows, at least on some levels, the dedication and adaptability
of the fighter.
NOTE: This new book is very heavy
and somewhat oversized and may require a little extra shipping
charge (ex. domestic priority mail will be $3.85 extra). |
#EWC97 Siu
Nim Tau
by Leung Ting
130 pages, softbound, photographs and line drawings
US $ 8.95

book written over twenty years ago. In this case this convenient

Tau form. The entire form is well illustrated and there are numerous
photographic breakdowns on applications from this essential set.

Wing Chun Dummy Techniques
by Yip Chun
125 pages, softbound, photographs
US $ 18.50
This
is the basic book on the Wing Chun Dummy with illustrations of
Yip Man himself performing the set.
An invaluable basic aid in performing and checking one's form
on the Mook Jong (wooden man). Occasional interpolations by Yip
Chun on application. Also, a fold out plan of how to construct
a dummy. There's little to say because this is such a basic and
important text for those following this branch of the art. The
first wooden dummy book in English. Also reminiscences of Bruce
Lee and Yip Man. |

#EWC94 MOOK
JONG Construction
Manual
Michael
D. Janich
66 pages with photos, oversize, softbound
US $23.50
This
is one of the few Paladin books we handle and it is exactly what
it purports to be. We have nothing against Paladin but they occupy
sort of the soft-core place in the martial community touting books
of real value and also "Ninja Lady Death Dealing Kisses"
or whatever. This is one of the good ones. If you don't have an
extra $1000 bucks or so to purchase a teak wood Wooden
Dummy this manual provides detailed instructions on just
how to build one. It's a bit pricey but, as we're sure the author
realized, think of the money you're saving! For the sake of family
unity heed well the first line of the book, "The first step in
constructing a wooden dummy is deciding where to put it." |
#EWP88 Wing
