Introduction to Shaolin Kung Fu - Very good,
By Chris Hotston (Wokingham, Berkshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Shaolin Kung Fu (Paperback)
When I received this book last christmas I thought to myself 'Oh wicked, a book with a nice picture on the front' but thats not just where it ends as is the case with some of this type of book. I started to thumb the pages and to my delight found it to be very expressive and well communicative in what it was aiming to show. It is a book for those who are interested in the first form of the dragon meets tiger form of Shaolin kung-fu, but it has a very good range of diagrams, methods on how to learn this set and also some extra things on strengthening techniques. The main plus point in this books favour is that not only do you learn with ease, you are guided into each move and through it with careful consideration, and also with a little section describing uses and philosophies behind each particular step of the form. An excellent training aid.

A must for anyone begining in Shaolin Kung Fu,
By A Customer
This review is from: Introduction to Shaolin Kung Fu (Paperback)
I brought this book to find out a little about martial arts as it looked like a good all-rounder. When I started reading the book however, I found that Although I had not wanted to join any classes before, I was now enroled on a Shaolin Kung Fu course. The book has definately given me a much greater appreciation of martial arts as a whole, and has helped no-end in my practical application. If you are interested in martial arts in any way, get this book. Even if you don't think you want to take your interest very far, Wong Kiew Kit is sure to suprise you.

One of the greatest kung fu books ever...,
This review is from: Introduction to Shaolin Kung Fu (Paperback)
This fantastic book by Wong Kiew Kit covers all the basics and more. It starts off with a very interesting history of the Shaolin kung fu system, including it's aims and morals. The book then covers preliminary exercises and basic stances. This book contains a step by step tutorial to teach you the full Dragon-Tiger set which includes 36 patterns. There are also detailed meanings for each pattern. Further more there are sections on force training and chinese weaponry. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in kung fu, shaolin or martial arts in general. Being a beginner myself I can tell you how much this book has helped me understand Shaolin kung fu. Learning all the moves step by step is a thorough joy, and Wong Kiew Kit will have you training non stop. This is a great book and is even worth double the price tag. If shaolin or kung fu is your thing, buy this book now!!!
