Summary: Where's the chi?
Comment: 'Where's the chi?' is what I constantly ask myself as I flick through the pages of another one of Cheung's hundred books.
Though there are many photographs of fancy hand positions to look at, Cheung fails to answer the title of his book sufficiently at all.
Wing Chun is an internal system in which Chi comes from within. Chi certainly does not come from copying hundreds of Cheung's hand movements.
It's a picture book of hand movements. Don't expect to know anything more about chi after reading this book.

Summary: Chi power as it relates to Wing Chun Kuen
Comment: This book is not for someone wanting general information and basic chi kung exercises. This book details the flow of chi in doing the first form of Wing Chun, the Sil Lum Tao form. Briefly describes chi meridians, five element theory, and some other chinese medical ideas. Good section on breathing and self massage of some important acupoints on the arms that stimulate the organs through their respective channels. Shows proper Wing Chun blocks and strikes, showing transitional movements and direction of energy. Demonstates complete Sil Lum Tao form, showing chi direction. Ends with a chapter on chi sao techniques and applications. A great book for those interested in Wing Chun, has the best description of the Sil Lum Tao I've seen, compared to about 5 other books. If you want a chi kung book, don't buy this, get Way of Energy by Lam, or his other book, Chi Kung.

Summary: Good Book to Have
Comment: The main problem with the book is that the title is misleading. If you are thinking about purchasing this book to learn about chi or how to develop it then this book only deserves a one star, and you will be better off finding another book. However, if you are looking for a book that goes in to detail on the Sil Lum Tao form and diagrams how your internal energy should flow, then this book is for you.Despite it's misleading title this is a good book to own, especially if you are studying Wing Chun.
