One of The Best Martial Arts Books Around,
This review is from: The Art Of Shaolin Kung Fu: The Secrets of Kung Fu for self-defence, health and enlightenment (Paperback)
This book is the best of the best. Everything is well guided and shown cleary.Thought, effort, and time has gone into this book unlike most of the other martail art books around which just use big names like Bruce Lee to raise profits. This is truly a book worth buying as it is written by some one who cares and respects the art rather than some one just trying to make a good profit. The book explains thoroughly through differnt kung fu forms from Chen Style Tai Chi to Tanglangquan (praying mantis kung fu) This book is the mother of all books and covers almost every thing from stretching, aims and objectives,tactics and strategies to the more important spiritual enlightenment. A must buy.

A perfect appetizer into the wonderful realms of Kung Fu,
By T Uttley "T Uttley" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art Of Shaolin Kung Fu: The Secrets of Kung Fu for self-defence, health and enlightenment (Paperback)
Wong Kiew Kat provides the reader with a complete and full background into the depths of this wonderful art, clearly illustrating the fundamental differences between Kung Fu and other martial arts. Those who are interested in learning a self-defence that does not concentrate purely on the physical and ‘external’ attributes but also on the mind, then Kung Fu along with this very book is the one for you. Kiew Kat elaborates the importance of attaining spiritual development from Chi techniques emphasising ‘Internal Force’ stressing that this is more important than knowing the sequence of moves. For the student, Kiew Kat demonstrates how to continual improve self-development in Kung Fu and how to achieve skills quickly and effectively through objectives and aims also underlying the difference between the two. The book guides you through the many forms of Shaolin ‘hand’ shapes and stances that provide the foundations of Kung Fu. Combat sequences and combination sets along with vital illustrations create a more overall comprehensive guide into the physical self-defence and attack form. There is also a small section at the end on the various type of weapons used throughout the history of Kung Fu. NEGATIVES. POSITIVES. This book would mainly suit the beginner and those who have been practising the art for many years but feel that something acute is missing. It also provides insight into why people who have studied Kung Fu for many years have never been good enough to become a master.

Practical & concise.,
By
This review is from: The Art Of Shaolin Kung Fu: The Secrets of Kung Fu for self-defence, health and enlightenment (Paperback)
Wong Kiew Kit has done an excellent job of explaining the basics of Shaolin kung fu.The book is clearly layed out and is an easy read. There are plenty of excerises to keep you busy, and the simplified 5 Animals form that he has described is both practical and relatively easy to learn. For the beginner I don't think there is a better introduction available. All in all in comparison to other similar publications this stands head and shoulders above the rest.
