4.0 out of 5 stars Silly translation but lots of easy to understand pictures., 6 Jul 1999

By A Customer

The translation into English is worded somewhat silly at times, but if you're looking for picture-by-picture explanations of xing yi's forms, it's the most thorough one out there. The five fists and animal styles are all broken down in many transitional pictures that show the each movement precisely, there is no guesswork as to what the author is trying to get across with each explanation.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book by a qualified master, 31 Jul 2008

By	lector "elpobrecitohablador" (Spain) - See all my reviews

The main facts about this book are these: the author began practising martial arts in 1964 and has taught martial arts, specially Xingyiquan, in several universities, mainly in Fujian University; the book contains about five hundreds photographs, which are not of great quality, but explain with a lot of detail every movement; the book covers the essentials of the art, five element boxing, twelve animals boxing, and three routines of five elements, eight forms an twelve crosscut punches. Also covers paired practice.

This book is undoubtly a work made by an expert. I just would have wished its photographs were of better quality, and the lineage and style of this master were more clearly explained. Nevertheless, it is a great and useful book.
