Learning Wing Chun Kung Fu

One of the better Wing Chun books in my opinion. The author has an excellent understanding of Wing Chun principles.

this is a great book, it arrived quickly and delivers introduction and instruction just as it is said to give in product description.

very good

Unlike other wing chun and self defence books, this book covers three important and integral areas with all three being essential for effective wing chun and self defence. They are: 1. Clear descriptions, photographs and explanations of the first two forms (Siu Nim Tao & Chum Kiu) 2. A practical justification for the movements and the ideal forms to be aimed for 3. A no-nonsence description of actual use of the self-defence techniques in the book, involving the reader to prepare themselves mentally should they encounter a situation where they need to employ the techniques. The author has a very honest and easy to understand method of writing. The explanations are clear and concise and the best I have seen. Unlike most texts, the author acknowledges that the book cannot teach wing chun without the reader actually practicing it to become proficient. However, the description of the ideal movements and techniques are invaluable to the new practitioner to avoid learning incorrect or inefficient movements. For the more experienced practioner, the knowledge in the books obviously draws on years of experience and is useful as a critical analysis of one's own techniques and is therefore a book I will continually revisit as there is always something to improve or an aspect that is sometimes forgotten. By far the best Wing Chun book I have read and by an author who inspires and encourages the reader to explore a system that strives for personal development and improvement regardless of experience.

This excellent manual is an absolute must for anyone who either is just taking up Wing Chun or already has some knowledge and grounding in this fantastic Martial Art. Filled with clear photographs and diagrams, this is an easy to read and easy to understand book. Many of the exercises, drills and form can be learned at home at your own pace with this book as your guide. Sifu Kokkorakis gives us the benefit of his many, many years experience in this book. I think it is easily one of the finest books on the fascinating art of Wing Chun available.

Cannot understand the 1 star review at all. I've been studying Wing Chun for 6 months and this "bible" has helped immensely with my training. Full of diagrams, photos and concepts it makes all that I study in class make sense. Sifu Jason Kokkorakis must be a master of Wing Chun and I hope one day I get to learn from someone so well practiced in the art At the end of the day you're not going to learn Wing Chun from a book but read alongside classes it makes total sense Thanks Sifu Kokkorakis

This book explains the tools of the wing chun system as well as when and how to apply them. A great book that can be appreciated on a number of different levels. I have to admit there are points made within the book that I have later come to appreciate and understand as my training and knowledge have improved. A book that grows with you. Only a practitioner of the art can appreciate the detail contained within. Obviously written by someone will deep and intricate knowledge of the system and an accomplished practitioner.
