This book has been long awaited. It breaks down the SNT form step by step (similar to the book WingTsun Kuen, but with the Chinese names for ALL the movements), including the applications of the movements set by set. This book is great for beginning students of WingTsun, as well as a great review or source of topics for instructors to train their students in. Can't wait until the Chum Kiu and Biu Tze books get translated into english!

This book is very good but it is really a guide for students of WT. The photographs show the form in the correct fashion but if you wish to learn purely frim the book this is impossible you need a teacher to fully understand the move. Very good fro students as a home study guide.

If you're a WT practitioner, then this book is certainly a recommandation: very well written, complete with all the chinese names of every movement. Not too much applications, but it's worth to have a look at it! I would say: LT can continue to write a lot of WT-books!

Definitely not for the "learn from book" types, but a great reference text for those practicing under a qualified instructor. This book delivers a wealth of information for its size, and dedicates quite a number of its pages towards application and analysis of the form. It is reasonably priced and its light and compact size made it a joy to carry around.
