5.0 out of 5 stars One for your martial arts library, March 5, 1997

By A Customer

An in-depth look at wing chun, Advanced Wing Chun is definately a text for those who are interested in this Chinese martial art. Cheung meticulously breaks down the second form of the wing chun system, Chum Kil, and then moves on to cover many chi sao (sticky hands) exercises. Also covered are methods of footwork, and applications of the Chum Kil form in actual combat. This book is fantastic as a textbook for wing chun students, or for those who have a slight background in the martial arts looking to expand their knowledge

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference and Learning Resource!!!, December 22, 2001

By	Kawai Man (Las Vegas, NV, USA) - See all my reviews

As an instructor of William Cheung's art of Traditional Wing Chun, I find this book to be a useful resource tool for all my students. In fact, it is required reading material. Although it is difficult to learn any martial art solely from books and tapes, such tools are indispensable in both documenting the unique qualities of a particular style and providing specific techniques and sequences for training purposes. Advanced Wing Chun presents for the first time in print the Cham Kil, or Chum Kiu, intermediate form as passed down from 5th Generation Grandmaster Leung Jun to William Cheung via Leung Bik and Yip Man. Other useful sections include various single-handed and double-handed Chi Sau techniques and drills as well as sections on this lineage's unique footwork and combat techniques. This book is a MUST for all Wing Chun enthusiasts of any family line!
