Mastering Wing Chun Kung Fu By Kwok S. (Book)

In this book the keys to the Ip Man Wing Chun Kung Fu system are explained. The three hand sets are shown in detail, along with the application of the key movements. One of the keys to Wing Chun is laying a proper foundation. The first form Siu Lim Tao (Little Idea) is the development of that foundation. Here you will be introduced to the proper reference points for the structure of the defensive tools and offensive weapons of Wing Chun. The second form, Chum Kiu (Seeking the Bridge) introduces the keys to fighting application of Wing Chun. While the first form teaches the correct structure of the attacks and defensive movements it is in Chum Kiu that the student learns to "seek the bridge" and use both hands simultaeously such as one hand defending while the other attacks. Chum Kiu teaches stepping and footwork, and also Wing Chun's specialized kicking method and the generation of power thru the correct method of using the entire body in stance turning (Yiu Ma). The third form, Biu Gee (Thrusting Fingers) also known as the (First Aid) form' teaches the key to recovery from the loss of a superior position in fighting. Biu Gee training is one of the keys to learning to focus energy into a strike. This form also develops devastating striking power by combining focused strikes with the rotational energy developed by correct stance turning (¥iu Ma), as learned in the previous training of the Chum Kiu form. Also covered is the Chi Sao (Sticking Hands) training of Wing Chun as well as the key principles that have made Ip Man Wing Chun one of the most famous Kung Fu systems in the world.
