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.

5.0 out of 5 stars a Classic Wing Chun Text, April 24, 2009

By 

Durr's Wing Chun Club "Wing Chun Kuen Media" (SE Kansas) - See all my reviews

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

A classic text covering the complete Sil Lim Tao level training of the Yip Man Wing Chun school. This first book in the series (there are 3 volumes in all) lays the foundation needed to fully digest the material covered in the remaining 2 volumes. A must-have for the serious Wing Chun media collector. The drills and exercises presented alone make this increasingly difficult to find series well worth the asking price. Old school Yip Man Hong Kong lineage Wing Chun.
Note: The second volume in the series (Chum Kil) is almost impossible to find. This should be taken into account if you are attempting to collect the entire set.
