4.0 out of 5 stars A Decent Book, Basic Information, May 14, 2001

This review is from: Praying Mantis Kung Fu (Paperback)

In this little green volume, Un presents some of the basics of Praying Mantis Kung Fu, including a decent section on the history of the style through his lineage. The form Bong Po is demonstrated, and the major complain I have with the book is that Author Un wears a dark uniform against a dark background, which makes some of the first pictures in this form difficult to understand for a beginner or anyone who is trying to learn this form solely from this book. There is also a section at the rear of the book showing applications from the Bong Po set. Altogether it is not a bad book for its size.

2.0 out of 5 stars vague., November 23, 1998

This review is from: Praying Mantis Kung Fu (Paperback)

Breaking a little ground but steps into too many things without finishing them. Also, too short of a book for the subject.

Could I have read what may be the world's worst book?
I practiced Praying Mantis Kung Fu and thought this would give me a few insights... scatalogical would be a compliment... was the author writing in metaphore or just in Klingon?

I can't say much about this book because I didn't understand a single page!
