A brief 112 page overview of Kung Fu,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kung-Fu: The Way of Life (Paperback)
A very brief overview of the "Kung Fu Way of Life". It is useful as a very basic beginning to understanding Kung Fu. The Horse Stance shown on page 39 looks too wide for comfort. Most other texts on the subject recommend a horse stance "slightly wider than shoulder width." I don't recommend not reading this book, but I prefer David Chow's "Kung Fu" and Dr. Jwing-Ming's "Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu". Personally, I'm a student of Ed Parker's Kenpo Karate, which is derived from the ancient Martial Art of Kung Fu. This is a great way to buy books!

Basic,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kung-Fu: The Way of Life (Paperback)
I personally liked the book for its history section, the kicking tecniques section and the "fitness" section. The demonstration of the form was in my opinnion not wery god, it consited of a series of pictures without text wich makes it almost impossible to understand the movements. All in all an interesting book from witch tou can learn a lot about Kung-Fu in general but not the forms..

Sketchy, but not to bad.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kung-Fu: The Way of Life (Paperback)
Wong's book is an overview of kung fu. Covered generally are excersises, stances, kicks, fighting techniques, forms, and avery brief section on weapons. The book probably needed more elaboration of the two forms, and the weapons section. It does show however good warm up exercises and isometric training,and is worth the cost just for that. Bottom line this book suffers from "generalizing" on the subject.
