Of the Drunkard kungfu forms, the most famous, besides the Drunken Eight Immortals Form, are the Drunken Monkey Form and the Drunken Monkey Pole Form. There are notable differences between the Drunken Monkey Form and the Drunken Eight Immortals form. The Drunken Eight Immortals Form imitates the movements of a ¡§drunken man¡¨; while the Drunken Monkey Form is a kungfu form presents the gestures of a ¡§drunken monkey¡¨. The movements develop into gestures of a drunken monkey in the middle section of the form when the performer simulates movements of a monkey having stolen draughts of wine. This book contains the description of Drunken Monkey Form and its applications.

Drunken Monkey,

This review is from: Drunken Monkey Kung Fu (Paperback)
This book is good, but at times it seems to be extremely lacking in details of body positioning etc. for a particular stance, movement. Generally this book gives enough details on most of the forms that a beginner could easily figure it out... sometimes though it's lacking. Maybe it was a problem translating this into English. Also the black and white photographs which fill this book are not always clear.
What I did enjoy is the history of the style in particular. There are too many martial arts books out there which lack a show of tradition, but this book shows it's respects for Drunken Monkey history.
5.0 out of 5 stars
