Wing Chun Weapons: Butterfly Swords and Dragon Pole by Sifu Ian Protheroe

Wing Chun Weapons is Sifu Protheroe’s third major work and covers in detail the traditional weapons of the Wing Chun system.

It is the most complete book on this topic ever published and covers a host of training methods, forms and technical details of the weapons.

Protheroe outlines his personal development with the pole and swords and how his fencing methods have developed over 2 decades.

The book basically covers a complete syllabus for learning both weapons; it includes training drills with predetermined attacks and defenses, short training sets to familiarize the practitioner with the weapons and much more.

His approach is systematic and leaves no areas untouched. Conditioning methods for both weapons are included as are specific Jongs for both weapons.

The pole section includes drills for Chi Kwun (sticky poles), basics and footwork, power techniques and the Look Dim Book Kwun form.

The presentation of the book is, as usual first class, sporting a gold embossed, hard cover and quality paper. 192 pages.

It is a “must” for all serious students of Wing Chun weaponry.
