4.0 out of 5 stars For the practicing student, May 27, 2000

This review is from: Choy Li Fut Kung Fu: The Dynamic Fighting Art Descended From the Monks of the Shaolin Temple (Paperback)

This book is very good for the practicing choy li fut student. It will help you memorize the names of each move and their order. It also gives a good background to the school/study. I would not recommend it for an individual who is not already enrolled in choy li fut. It is a class supplement, not to be used without the help of a teacher.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Intro, October 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Choy Li Fut Kung Fu: The Dynamic Fighting Art Descended From the Monks of the Shaolin Temple (Paperback)

This serves as a good intro to the art. It does an excellent job at inspiring one to undertake the study for CLF, as it has for me. I must say though that the movements are barely described. You'd have to have prior experience in Kung Fu to have any idea what they are talking about. Does anyone know of any authentic CLF schools in New York?

This review is from: Choy Li Fut Kung Fu: The Dynamic Fighting Art Descended From the Monks of the Shaolin Temple (Paperback)

This book gives a great overview of Choy Li Fut Kung Fu! It talks about the lineage and history which I find fascinating. The book also covers ALL the basics which is the true art of Choy Li Fut. As a practitioner I use this as a reference guide on a frequent basis. The book is very elusive and I find a little bit more hidden in these pages each time I pick it up. Laid out before you are the true secrets of the art. To most they don't know what they are reading so they simply glaze over the words. Those are the ones who truly miss out.
