We’re working through a tall pile of new Chinese books, and here are the first two:
Chen Family Martial Arts Experiences
Chen YiMing‘s Chen Family Martial Arts Experience takes a geometric look at fighting stances and approaches. We’ve seen a few books over the years that include some aspects of this, but this all-color text is dedicated, start to finish, with analyzing fighting technique.
Southern Shaolin 5 Elements 8 Directions Stick
Traditional Southern Shaolin 5 Elements 8 Directions Stick is one of those books that we love: first, a good stick book is always welcome, but this one is very generous with its photos and instruction.
Coming soon: Li YaXuan!
