 KW018 Wing Chun Kung Fu The Wooden Dummy
Shaun Rawcliffe
Wing Chun lends itself to clear explication and this book not only gives the details about the Wooden Dummy set of Wing Chun but gives the details about the details. Student of Ip Chun, Shaun Rawcliffe has created an intelligent discussion of not only the form but the options, the principles, the logic and the alternatives locked within this essential aspect of Wing Chun training. Besides giving supporting drills, discussions of the dummy itself and some interesting scientific explanations of the style, Rawcliffe also adds the kind of teaching comments one hears on the floor of a practicing Kuan. Very informative. All color. |
 KC007 Chi Sau Parts 3 and 4
Leung Ting
This second book in Leung Ting's Chi Sau series essentially follows the information in the big red book but has been updated and broken down with new photos. Leung explains the emphasis on this point in the training on Poon and Wu Sau movements. Some of the book answers practical questions about Chi Sau. There is a nice introduction outlining what Leung Ting feels is the general prgression in learning this essential sensivity exercise of the Wing Chun (Vin Tsun) sect. Note: Each section of this series is independent and we seem to be getting more requests for this book than others in the run. |

Chun Chee Sau/Bui Chee
by Sunny Tang (Dun Wah)
This
is a special commemorative edition of a solid instruction book by the man who brought Wing Chun to Canada. Mr. Tang has taught hundreds of students. This book shows the crucial Wing Chun practice of Sticky Hands . Not only that but it has the entire Bil Ji (Bui Chee) form shown with clear and detailed photographs. There are historical and theoretical notes but the juice of the text is the detailed collection of comments on the application and fine points of Sticky Hand training with a sort of running commentary on live Sticky Hands actions. Three post training is also shown. A limited edition.

KW033H 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 . |

KW019 Wing
Chun Warrior
by Ken Ing M.D.
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). |
K#004 116
Wing Chun Dummy Techniques
by Yip Chun
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. |
KM011 MOOK
JONG Construction
Manual
Michael
D. Janich
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." |
KA011 Authentic Wing
Chun Weapons
by
Jim Fung

Butterfly Knives and the 6 1/2 Pole. Introductory sections on Wing Chun teachers such as Yip Man and
Leung Ting. Applications of the weapons according to Wing Chun
theory. Basics and some correlations to open hand work. Sets for
both weapons are profiled. |
