Publisher's Summary

Wing Chun is the most popular form of Chinese kung fu in the world today, with more than four million practitioners. This guide will fascinate and educate anyone interested in the martial arts, from beginner to master.

The art as it is presently understood has been handed down from teacher to student for more than 300 years. Until now, no one has ever stepped back and taken a critical look at why this art's techniques are presented and performed the way they are. This book, by Wing Chun master Danny Xuan and martial-arts authority John Little, is the first to decipher these techniques that until now have been encrypted within this art.

Xuan and Little reveal how Wing Chun was designed holistically, based on the laws of physics, human nature, and biomechanics. It was also designed with economy, efficiency, and productivity in mind.

Unlike other martial arts, Wing Chun doesn't focus on making a person larger, more rugged, acrobatic, or animal-like; rather, it focuses on making optimal use of one's own bodily structure and power potential by applying the sciences of biomechanics and physics. Thus, it is possible for males and females of all ages and sizes to excel in this art.

A Practitioner's Review

I have been practising in Wing Chun for 12 years and other Martial Arts for 15 years prior. I can honestly say this book changed my entire approach to the way I train. this is a must have for any Wing Chun practitioner and will require more than one listen through to grasp the concepts and teachings.

Excellent book to understand Wing Chun

Very well explained book indeed
Opens your eyes to the understanding, concepts and truths to the Art of Wing Chun.
Don’t go in with any preconceived ideas, but be open to listen and adapt it to your current Wing Chun system
I’ve been doing and teaching Wing Chun for many, many years and I can say that I too learnt from this book
Highly recommended
