Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Priceless Heritage of Southern Shaolin Inherited from the Past and Handed Down by Venerable Grandmaster Lam Sai Wing.

Original edition: Hong Kong, 1957; translated from Chinese in 2002 - 2007.

This method is the best for those who practice the Martial Arts. Thanks to this method, I myself could achieve my tutor Wong Fei Hung's results and Master Fei Hung could achieve the results of honorable tutor Lam Fook Sing who in his time was the best disciple of Tid Kiu Sam, the unsurpassed Master... /Lam Sai Wing/

Each kind of Gong Fu has its own method of training and its own secrets. This book just gives the most complete and visual guidance for correct training in Tid Sin. It is indispensable for all who practice Qi Gong and Gong Fu. /Lei Sai Fai/

Iron Thread form was created by Tid Kiu Sam (Iron Bridge III), one of the best martial artists in the history of China. His real name was Leung Kwan (1813-1886). He was one of the famous Ten Tigers of Guangdong.

Tid Kiu Sam was born in the town of Nanghai, Guangdong province. He, the third child in the family, became a disciple of a monk from the Shaolin Temple, Gwok Yan. Gwok Yan was one of the greatest masters of the Southern Shaolin Hung Gar Kuen school. He was known along the whole length of the Yangtse river. Through the years Tid Kiu Sam passed his knowledge down to one of his students, Lam Fook Sing. Some time later Lam Fook Sing taught Wong Fei Hung (1847-1924) and the latter Wong Fei Hung taught Lam Sai Wing (1860-1943).

The Iron Thread is considered as the highest form taught in the traditional Southern Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu system. This method belongs to a branch of "hard", or fighting Southern Shaolin Qi Gong (Chi Kung) and considered as "Internal Training". A master of the Iron Thread can withstand, with no consequences, the strongest of blows, including ones with heavy objects or cold steel, bend thick iron rods with his hands, and his "rooting power" is so strong that he cannot be displaced by a group of strong people. In addition, this wonderful method strengthens all internal organs, bones, muscles and sinews. The entire body thrives and rejuvenate. Benefits of this training are endless.

Each kind of Gong Fu has its own method of training and its own secrets. This book just gives the most complete and visual guidance for correct training in Tid Sin. It is indispensable for all who practice Qi Gong and Gong Fu. /Lei Sai Fai/

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Iron Thread. Southern Shaolin Hung Gar Kung Fu Classics Series (Paperback)
Andrew Timofeevich has masterfully translated Lam Sai Wing's (Author), Tid Sid Kuen - Iron Wire form with easy to understand and follow instructions. Martial Artists need to add this one to your library even if you don't intend to learn the form. It opens up the essence of Hung Gar which can greatly benefit those in both soft and hard styles. The illustrations in combination with the detailed instruction make it easy for anyone to enter a heretofore secret art.
