3.0 out of 5 stars a very ineresting way of teaching this form, 14 Dec 2001
this book is devided into two stages, one half showing the actual actions of the form and then on every other page there is a demonstration of how to put the movements into practice. it comes compleate with photos and instructions on every page, however i feel that the book could have done with more infomation on the strength and speeds that the actions require as this is missed out in this book. Oh, and a warning to all buyers, there are over 100 tiger forms with in the world of kung fu, make shour this is the one that you are actualy after

4.0 out of 5 stars Good form., 7 Aug 2006
This book is what it says it is - the Tiger/Crane Form of Hung Gar. It is a slim book, but from page ten to page 159 (the last page of the book), there is nothing but form, application, and instruction. The photographs are good quality, and the reader is informed when the camera angle has changed, for instance. The book is entirely no nonsense, and the history of the form takes up one concise and actually informative page. There is no information on how to build up your tiger claw or crane beak power, but that is not within the scope of this small book - if you want to know about that, there are plenty of books on the market to inform you, including Kong's own "Hung Gar Kung Fu" and Wong Kiew Kit's "The Art of Shaolin Kungfu". The form is good and the applications are also quite good, although sometimes I'd like to see more than just thrust punches and snap kicks to defend against. In any case, if you want to know about the flavour of a southern style (as I did, coming from a northern China-based perspective), then this book will tell show you a lot, as well as showing a very versatile and powerful form. What more do you need?

3.0 out of 5 stars A helping hand in learning the form, 2 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This book is a good guide-line to the form 'tiger and crane'. It shows indepth uses of the movements and guides you through the form well. The main draw back is that sometimes it's hard to know the exact movements and this will certainly mean that further guidance from your sui foo will be necessary for a complete mastery.
Overall very useful and will, at the very least, half the time needed to learn the form.
