San Shou: The Complete Fighting System provides you with detailed instruction to Cung Lee`s core fighting techniques and tactics. The layout and picture quality is great and the text is clear and to the point. Set ups, combinations and the ability to move from striking to grappling range are discussed with lots of examples of each. Different takedowns and throws from the clinch as well as after you have grabbed the opponents kick are shown. The focus on the side kick as a full contact weapon was refreshing. No unnessesary space is waistet teaching the basics of striking and kicking. The book assumes you already know this and is looking for inspiration to your existing training regime. Total beginners are probably better off going to class to learn the basics. When you feel ready for more intense drilling and combination work this is a great reference tool. I will certainly implement a lot of the material in my extra curriculum training over the next months.
Just a quick add on: The book does not include groundfighting... I expect this is due to the lack of groundfighting in San Shou tournement fighting. Since the books title clearly states that it is about san shou (and not MMA) this is all god to me, but i tought you might want to know :)
