5.0 out of 5 stars Good Instruction for plum flower "moi fah" form..., March 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Moi Fah: The Plum Flower Fist (Unique Literary Books of the World) (No. 7) (Paperback)

This book was written a while ago by Sifu Wing Lam (Wing Lam Enterprises). It contains background information, warmups, stances, hand positions and all as basic information, and then the book describes the form with accompanying photographs of Sifu Lam demonstrating the movements. Learning forms from books is difficult/impossible, you can purchase the Video from Wing Lam Enterprises (Shaolin #7 Moi Fah), you should have abosolutely no trouble at all learning this form. Even though it is #7, this is usually the 1st or 2nd form taught in shaolin kung fu. The number (1 through 10) are not the number in which the forms are Taught. For what it is, I gave this book 5 stars. Get the video too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent For The Price!, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Moi Fah: The Plum Flower Fist (Unique Literary Books of the World) (No. 7) (Paperback)

This book is limited in its scope, and i think that's the best thing about it. It teaches number seven of the ten basic Shao Lin forms, and little else. It's a great place to start for beginners, or even better for students of Kung Fu who have not been taught short forms in all directions yet. I too wish the author would complete the entire system in a similar fashion, for we could all learn Sil lum kung fu with a minimum of kwoon time. Can't recommend it enough...

This review is from: Moi Fah: The Plum Flower Fist (Unique Literary Books of the World) (No. 7) (Paperback)

Moi Fah: The Plumb Flower Fist is one of the easiest books on forms to understand. The form itself is clearly photographed, and the author does a great job of explaining what's going on. Applications of techniques are spread throughout the form. Also of value are the warm-ups at the beggining of the book, as well as the explainations of body movements in the back. This is a good book to learn this particular form, and gave me my first exposer to Chinese long boxing. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because of it's limited scope.
