#ETG92 JOURNEY of a Martial Arts Master
Tak
Wah Eng by Paula Wong
373 pages, photographs and illustrations, softbound, US $22.95
This
is truly a labor of love. Here is a compilationof photos, thoughts, experiences of someone who has essentially dedicated his life to Kung Fu. Tak Wah Eng, after more than four decades of living in the martial world, has won the respect of many practitioners. He has met and befriended some of the most famous practitioners. This book, with the help of Paula Wong, draws from personal collection of photographs, writing, group shots, memories and observations. It is like taking a Kung Fu weapon, such as a "precious sword" , hand and rolling it and examining it from many angles. The few typos and slips aside, this is a book that—while talking about one lifelong student— talks about many who share his JOURNEY. |
#ETG95 The
Spirit of the Five Animals
Tak
Wah Eng
168 pages, Photographs, softbound, US $17.95
This
is a nicely done text with five form sections one for each of
the classic Shaolin five animals. Also included, discussions of
Tak Wah Eng's contributions to the martial arts by numerous teachers
and also student testimonials, warm ups, basic stances and of
course the five separate, short animal forms Sifu Eng has developed. |
#EWP74 Dragon
Staff & Butterfly Knives
Paul
Koh
80 pages, Photographs, softbound, US $9.99
Shih
Fu Paul Koh is a student of Tak Wah Eng and therefore in the Black
Tiger, Fu Jow lineage. This book demonstrates a Southern based
set, created by Tak Wah Eng, that combines the Staff and the Butterfly
knives. Each side is shown separately then the duet is shown. A slim but nicely laid out book. |
#ETG96 Entering
the FU JOW PAI
(Tiger
Claw Kung Fu)
Tak
Wah Eng
240 pages, Photographs, softbound, US $12.50,
Fu
Jow (Tiger Claw) style is one of the most vigorous and popular
Kung Fu forms in the West. Derived in part from Hung Gar and
Black Tiger style it is a Southern synthesis of solid, powerful
techniques. Fu Jow stylists put a strong emphasis on applications
and sparring. This volume gives history, applications, and Tiger
Claw Road #1. Well photographed, clear and thorough.

#ETG97 Tiger
in the Moonlight
Paul
Koh
60 pages, Photographs, softbound, US $9.99,
Fu
Jow (Tiger Claw) style is one of the hardiest and most popular
Kung Fu forms in the West. Paul Koh's teacher, Tak Wah Eng, studied
Fu Jow for many years. This is a small but beautifully done book
on the system. It gives two hand forms and a matched set. Spenser
Bagley did a great job in part by developing the photos to resemble
old fashioned Kung Fu books. Really an outstanding effort quality
wise. The forms are short and mostly shown through photos but
the presentation is clear and concise. |
#ETG98 ZEN
and the Way of the Fist
Tak
Wah Eng
176 pages, Photographs, softbound, US $19.99,
Fu
Jow (Tiger Claw) style is one of the most vigorous and popular
Kung Fu forms in the West. But this is an unusual book because
it is NOT Fu Jow but almost entirely Shaolin. It contains "photo
essays" on Muscle Change Classic, Continuous Fist, Xiao Hong
Quan, Extension Fist, Buddha Fist, Sun Fist, Seven Star Boxing
and Shaolin Long Fist all given to Tak from Shi Guo Lin. This
was originally Tak Wah Eng's note book and his attempt, as the
subtitle proclaims, to create "The Master Collection of traditional
Shaolin Kung Fu and Philosophy." |
 #ETG99 Shaolin Martial Art Basic Exercise
by Tak Wah Eng
30+ pages, softbound $ 6.50
This small home-made pamphlet qualifies as a collector's item. It is Tak Wah's first book and an introduction to the Fu Jow system. A little collector's item of about 32 pages with illustrations and photographs this book introduced the Fu Jow to an unsuspecting world. The movements are nice and the applications are pretty good. We suspect that in the future these self produced booklets will be highly sought after because, in many instances, they record the hands on work of teachers and schools with no other goal than promoting their arts. |
#ETG93
Shantung
Black Tiger Kung Fu
A
Shaolin Fighting art of Northern China
Tjoa Khek Kiong, Donn Draeger
& Quinton Chambers
152 pages, US $17.95
The
first book in English for the centuries old Black Tiger Shantung
style of Kung Fu. This volume provides a thorough introduction
to every aspect of this beautiful art. Clearly written with nice
layout, copious illustrations, more than 350 photos and over 100
drawings: this book is an invaluable manual for learning and understanding
this remarkable fighting art.
This
text, taken from an original native source, bears the stamp of
Don Draeger and Chambers work. Done with pride and concern for
the material this is one of the first authentic books on Kung
Fu ever written in English. Draeger deserves our respect as demonstrating
a kind of genius for preserving the intent and the organic integrity
of each martial art he tried to record. A good book. |
#ETG94 Shaolin
Tiger Boxing
by Xu Ri-Chao
103 pages, photographs, softbound, US $9.95
A
very interesting book giving a couple of examples of Tiger Style
Kung Fu. But, even of more note, this Shaolin form is handed
down through the Beggar's style. Not that many people are familiar
with this authentic branch of the Kung Fu family that specializes
in beggar's and wanderer's Kung Fu. But historical sources reveal
that Beggar's Fist might be one of the main styles contributing
to the birth of classical Karate in Okinawa. This book not only
expounds the Tiger Fist with 57 postures but also an Arhat Northern
Kung Fu form. A neat little book in English and Chinese so you
can study you language along with your boxing.
