Wing Chun is a logical, scientific
yet simple Chinese martial art system, which was developed
purely for practical and effective self defense for everybody.
It is a martial art known for its efficiency and economy of
movement, which emphasizes natural and efficient use of the
body. Topics include: the fundamental principles of the hand
and leg techniques, detailed explanations of the shape, structure
and movements, and a checklist for each technique, plus a
detailed analysis and explanation of each of the "empty
hand" forms. An in-depth explanation of the principles
and concepts behind Chi Sao, Wing Chun's "sticky
hands" and a scientific and anatomical explanation
of the basic principles underlying the Wing Chun
system are also included.

I only just started on this book yesterday,
but I am already thoroughly impressed. Master Ip Chun is after
all the son of Master Yip Man who also taught Bruce Lee this
style of Kung Fu. Aside from the very interesting history
and some very technical drawings and explanations on the first
three forms of Wing Chun, there is also a glossary in the
back that gives the Chinese names of 114 movements found in
the first two forms. You will even find the Wing Chun Code
Of Conduct in these pages. All and all, a very well put together
book.
If you are looking for uncorrupted information
on Wing Chun in a pure form, I don't think it can get much
better than the books written by Master Ip Chun himself. This
one included.
