| "How this book differs from most of its kind, is in its format and presentation...Effectively illustrated by a series of simple line drawings, shown from a variety of perspectives and depicting such concepts as angling, direction of movement, centerline theory and triangulation. The book is available spiral bound, so the pages lie flat, which makes referring to the diagrams very easy. It is almost impossible to resist the temptation to grab a partner and try out the exercises...Alan Gibson's easy writing style combined with a brave demystification of his martial art make this a book without ego or self aggrandizement, and one that anyone can understand...Concepts of Wing Chun, as represented here, are very relevant to anyone practicing martial arts, regardless of style, and Why Wing Chun Works should certainly not be restricted to Wing Chun students alone. Alan Gibson has produced a reference book that is informative, entertaining and original." - Shaun Rawcliffe Chief Instructor, Midlands Wing Chun |
