This review is from: Secret Techniques of Wing Chun Kung Fu: Sil Lim Tao (Vol 1) (Paperback)

...from a book requires excellent photography so that the subtleties of hand and arm positions can be captured. This otherwise fair book suffers from very dark photographic reproduction that renders it largely unusable.

This review is from: Secret Techniques of Wing Chun Kung Fu: Sil Lim Tao (Vol 1) (Paperback)

I reccomend the entire set. Chao gives details not found in any other book or video series. The 1 inch punch training info alone is worth the price of the set.

This review is from: Secret Techniques of Wing Chun Kung Fu: Sil Lim Tao (Vol 1) (Paperback)

When I started my Martial Arts Journey I Was too poor to take classes so I was forced to glean all I could from books and rely on much practice and much deep thought. It is a LIE that you cannot learn from books a BIG FAT LIE! Because I did. This book was my foundation through which I have thoroughly embarassed 3rd and 4th degree Black Belts in Tae kwon Do, Tang Soo Do, Shotokan, Judo, American Karate, Kung Fu, Special Forces officers, Martial Arts Instructors and street fighters. I Have gone on to teach, Military and Police Officers, and 1st thru 3rd degree karate Instructors. I find this a resource that I return to again and again after more than 25 years of training. Much or what I teach my own students comes from this first book because most great Masters stress the basics like: Morehei Ueshiba founder of Aikido still in his 80's stressed Ikkyo or movement 1# the basic first move: and this book will give you the basics.
