Description:

As with his first two volumes, Alan has once again managed to capture the essence of the Wing Chun system using clear photography and practical fighting applications.

Alan’s first book, "Why Wing Chun Works", looked at the general theories and concepts of the Wing Chun system.

His second, "Simple Thinking: Intelligent Fighters", examined the techniques, and training methods like Chi Sau.

This time, we are taken on a detailed journey through the first two "empty-hand" forms and the unique Wooden Dummy form. Together, these three forms constitute the basic training methods and combat philosophy of the Wing Chun system.

The entire Wooden Dummy form is illustrated in numbered pictures.

After finishing this book, the reader will not only have a detailed knowledge of the depth of the information contained within the forms, they will also have been inspired to discover ever greater insights into the Wing Chun personal combat system, and have at their disposal a superb reference which they will refer to for inspiration again and again.

This book is a must for every martial arts library.
