2.0 out of 5 stars
Lacks theory and detail; incorrect movements.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wing Chun Kung-fu Volume 3: Weapons & Advanced Techniques (Chinese Martial Arts Library) (Paperback)
This book LACKS a great attention to detail in the most common of areas. Hands are left open on every movement, footwork is almost non-existant, and the center of gravity is every BUT where it belongs. The demo of the Muk-Yan-Chong goes back and forth with pictures of Dr. Smith and one of his students. Every Wing Chun practitioner knows the swords are NEVER turned backwards along the forearm, yet he displays this quite often. The pole form is over 50 movements, yet Dr. Smith displays approximately 10 and claims this is all there really is. There is very little detail in the execution of movements outside of a general description. In short, this book looks to be written for someone who has no knowledge of Wing Chun, Wing Tsun, or Ving Tsun whatsoever. Those that do, I recommend not wasting your money.

This review is from: Wing Chun Kung-fu Volume 3: Weapons & Advanced Techniques (Chinese Martial Arts Library) (Paperback)
I rate this book a ten. It is a very detalied book and it talks a lot about the ways of wing chun and I appreciat that. I took wing chun when I had a short stay in Korea and it was really nice. I am a black belt in Karate and it was really diffrent. Ther were a lot more meditation and a lot of advanced techinques for the higher and more serious martial artists
