Wing Chun Technique and Philosophy by Sifu Ian Protheroe

Technique and Philosophy is Sifu Protheroe’s second book and follows on from “Theory and Composition”.

It explores Buddhism and Taoism and their impact on Wing Chun. Traditional training methods such as paper and flame punching, chopstick twisting and sandbag conditioning drilling methods are also included in detail.

Protheroe goes on to examine the fighting mindset of Wing Chun before devoting the following 30 pages to Wing Chun fighting techniques; they include, single opponent, armed attackers and multiple opponent scenarios.

Trapping and chi sao techniques follow with a series of training forms designed to expand the striking repertoire of the Wing Chun practitioner.

The Hong Kong form of the Muk Yan Jong is included in detailed line drawings along with footwork and kicking sequences for the Saam Sing Jong (three star dummy) and the Chi Gerk Jong (sticky leg dummy).

The book concludes with a section on philosophy directly relevant to martial arts students.

The book has a gold embossed, hard cover and is approximately 200 pages.
