"Wing Chun is the most popular form of Chinese Kung Fu in the world today, with over 4 million practitioners. The art as it is presently understood has been handed down from teacher to student for more than 300 years. 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 one's making optimal use of their 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. Foremost, this book offers the reader the means by which to apply Wing Chun principles in daily life. Featuring photographs from locales as exotic as China's revered Shaolin Temple in addition to precise step-by-step photos of the Siu Nim Tao form and key exercises and self-defense techniques from the art."--Provided by publisher.
