5.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Shaolin Kung Fu - Very good, 25 Nov 2002
By Chris Hotston (Wokingham, Berkshire, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for anyone begining in Shaolin Kung Fu, 8 Oct 2002
By A Customer
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars good book for kungfu learners or enthusiasts, 19 Jun 2001
By Alchemist (London) - See all my reviews
This book, all in all, was quite a good book indeed. It certainly didnt lack in the area of stances and moves, but there was something missing from it to make it an outstanding book. It is probably more suited to a martial artisit too.But the man who writes it is very good, and I would rate this book five stars if not for the nagging feeling that it could have been clearer, more defined as in terms of executing the moves and stances. But I dont want to ruin the books high points. This is a pretty good book, and im not sorry I got it. Maybe I am just hungring for more moves and clearer explained stances. But all in all, if you like kung fu, definitly get this book. The writer has a certain and gifted talent for drawing the readers in, when explaining the history of the Shaolin monks, you could actually feel the wind and leaves against your face. Get this book.
