Summary: comprehensive theory and applications of wing chun sui lum tao
Comment: Once in a very long time you come across a Wing Chun book that is far more than the ink, the glue and the paper that it's written on....This is one such book. The Author has approached Wing Chun from a highly original framework whilst at the same time keeping true to the art. Great book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This is a great book..
Comment: ..there are passages that I have read and re-read. Rather than just going through the Sil Lum Tao form step by step with cursory subjective comments, as I have read in other books, the author also breaks it down and gives detailed explanations and practical applications of each movement. The 4 and a bit pages on dan chi sao have revitalised and changed the way I approach that excercise.
Customer Rating:
Summary: nothing "comprehensive" about it
Comment: Unfortunately a disappointing and frustrating read. More than anything this book is in dire need of a good editor. Most of the textual information is reasonably good, but in my opinion it is poorly presented. Just once I would like to read a wing chun book that delivers on what it promises. If you say it's a "scientific approach to combat" then explain why it's "scientific" and not just systematic. If you say it is "presented in a unique way" then present something more than what is found in EVERY other book on the subject. If you want to discuss wing chun used against a grappler then please do some research/experimentation so that you don't show things which are laughably unrealistic.And if you want to show the power of wing chun in application then don't demonstrate on a woman who is a foot shorter and half you body weight. All in all this book was a juvenile attempt at best.
