In this second volume, a martial arts expert continues his study of
Wing Chun, a popular system of kung fu, demonstrating how it can be used
to improve your mental and physical health
Wing Chun, also called Ving Tsun, is a popular system of kung fu
designed centuries ago by a Buddhist nun and Shaolin master. Together,
the two volumes of The Wing Chun Compendium offer a complete guide to
the discipline, from theory and philosophy to drills and forms.
In this second volume, author Wayne Belonoha takes students to the next
level, focusing on the final three and most advanced forms of the Wing
Chun system and their associated skills: the "Mook Yan Jong" or wooden
man; the "Lok Dim Boon Quan" or six-and-a-half point long pole; and the
"Baat Cham Dao" or eight-cut sword form, demonstrated here for the first
time by Grandmaster Sunny Tang. Also included are distance and angle
improvement drills, fighting strategy and training, instruction on
proper body mechanics, and "Sticking Hands" techniques. While intended
for the serious practitioner, The Wing Chun Compendium, Volume Two
also teaches the basics of body movement, psychological components of
practice and performance, and how to use martial arts for overall
self-improvement--factors that can help any martial artists seeking to
enhance their physical and mental development. The book includes
hundreds of tips and techniques as well as 400 photographs.
