An extensive history of wing chun, the different strains of this system and some really interesting history of it's evolution. Very interesting but not a "how to" book.

Possibly Cheungs best book. Loads of techniques, principles and applications. Form is different to ours but loads of pictures and techniques explained. Chum Kiu Level

Wing Chun Kung Fu by Lee                       £10.99         £8.50

lee.wingchunkf.JPG (46184 bytes)

 

 

 

 

Almost a manditory text for the new student. Introduces wing chun simply and clearly and contains everything for the first years study. Based around sil lim tao and interestingly was actually written by Bruce Lee with James Yim Lee. James Yim Lee was dying when it was published and Bruce Lee signed over his part of the book to James's widow in order to help support her.

Based round Sil Lim Tao and is very very similar to our version. This book is a must.

cheung.biljee.JPG (50313 bytes)

 

 

 

 

Bil Jee is completely different to ours, loads of illustrations and useful stuff but his power generation and application of some of the usual wing chun principles appear open to question.

Secret Tech. of Wing Chun by Chao 3 volumes

Broadly speaking vol 1 equates to Sil Lim Tao, vol 2 chum kiu, vol 3 bil jee.

The Tao of Jeet KuneDo    £12.99        £9.99

Interesting book. Written by Bruce Lee? Yes and no. This book was written after his death by a journalist and some of his students. It was written using  his notes and drawings. Lee always wanted to write a book on his own style and kept notes for that purpose. However he died leaving huge amounts of notes and thoughts on millions of little bits of paper. More a scrap book on combat and his answer to its many problems. Offers tons of tips and techniques each individual one a gem in its own right. The problem with this book is that there are so many gems presented to you it is possible to read through the book and miss them all.

 I think this book is a must for the serious martial artist but you need to be fairly advanced to appreciate what is on offer.

 

Thai Boxing Dynamite £12.99    £9.99

thaiboxdynamite.JPG (157083 bytes)

Nice A4 soft cover and introduction to mauy thai. Nice clear illustrations though a fairly basic introduction.

 

The way alone, training without a partner £9.99    £7.99

thewayalone.JPG (40135 bytes)

Nice book,loads of tips and pictures very good value for money but.....

It's written by a karate man. A cracking little book if you can apply the training techniques to wing chun. Gives loads of power and fitness tips. I like this book but you have to be open minded.
