Book Description
Introducing a new scientific approach to Wing Chun kung-fu, this book gives a clear and detailed exposition of once closely guarded techniques. Rejecting the secretive approach that characterizes much of martial arts writing, the author draws upon biomechanical theory to explain logically and scientifically how the techniques of Wing Chun kung-fu work. After an explanation of the theory behind the various Wing Chun moves, the reader is led step-by-step through each of the forms. Chi gerk and chi sao, the Wing Chun sticky-hand and sticky-leg techniques, are explained and liberally accompanied by 183 photographs detailing the important moves. An additional section devoted to weight and power training for the martial artist makes this book invaluable, not just for those interested in Wing Chun kung-fu, but for practitioners of any martial art.

Book Description
Wing Chun is the most popular form of Chinese Kung Fu in the world today, with over four million practitioners. The art as it is presently understood has been handed down from teacher to student for more than three hundred years. Until now, no one has ever stepped back and taken a critical look at why this art’s techniques are presented and performed the way they are. This book, by Wing Chun master Danny Xuan and martial-arts authority John Little, is the first to decipher these techniques that until now have been encrypted within this art. Xuan and Little reveal how Wing Chun was designed holistically, based on the laws of physics, human nature, and biomechanics. It was also designed with economy, efficiency, and productivity in mind. Unlike other martial arts, Wing Chun doesn’t focus on making a person larger, more rugged, acrobatic or animal-like; rather, it focuses on making optimal use of one’s own bodily structure and power potential by applying the sciences of biomechanics and physics. Thus, it is possible for males and females of all ages and sizes to excel in this art. The Tao of Wing Chun provides a readable, authoritative means of cultivating personal protection skills, enhanced flexibility, improved coordination, greater stamina, and physical and mental fitness while simultaneously cultivating humility, focus, determination, self-confidence, character, camaraderie, and deep inner strength. Foremost, this book offers the reader the means by which to apply Wing Chun principles in daily life. Enhanced by forty-eight full-color illustrations, The Tao of Wing Chun will fascinate, educate, and entertain a wide range of readers—from beginner to master.

Book Description
Wing Chun is one of the most mysterious and effective forms of Kung-Fu ever developed. It's unique training exercises and principles give the practitioner the ability to often overcome larger and stronger opponents, as well as "first-strike" speed. Legend has it that a woman who witnessed a hawk fighting a snake originally developed the system. She observed how the snake evaded the hawk and was always able to strike first by following a linear pattern and using a springing type of energy. Alan Lamb, a Hong Kong-trained instructor of Wing Chun with over 30 years of experience, now brings this unique system into the 21st century, adapting it to today's streets. In this volume, the sequel to Explosive Combat Wing Chun Volume 1, Lamb continues the monumental work he began in the previous book by familiarizing the reader with the ancient principles of Wing Chun in a modern context. Wing Chun was based on the principle of simplicity, and this principle is expressed in the three weaponless forms conventionally taught within this system: Sil Lum Tau, Cham Kiu, and Biu Jee. In these photo-packed pages, Lamb reveals the movements of the three major forms from various angles, giving the reader a textbook as well as a set of guidelines for their proper execution. He then reveals the intent of each form, as well as a multitude of applications. Explosive Combat Wing Chun truly shows you how the secrets of one of feudal China's most ingenious fighting systems can be adapted to the 21st century. Book jacket.
