Download or read book The Complete Guide to Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu written by Stuart Alve Olson and published by Blue Snake Books. This book was released on 2010-01-19 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developed by Wang Lang over 300 years ago, Praying Mantis Kung Fu is the only martial art based on the fighting skills of an insect. This fascinating system utilizes swift, methodical movements for defense and offense, and is well respected as an art that helps practitioners develop great strength and perseverance. The Complete Guide to Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu provides an in-depth look at the history and practice of this remarkable martial art. Author Stuart Alve Olson, a student of T. T. Liang, draws on the lineages of Masters Feng Huan-I and Wang Han-Fon, but includes detailed description of all major schools, styles, and lineages. The first half of the book focuses on tactics and theory; the second half contains step-by-step descriptions of the fundamental Praying Mantis stances, exercises, footwork, and kicks, clearly illustrated by more than 200 photographs. What sets this book apart from other works on Praying Mantis is its philosophical depth; author Olson gives a clear account of the development of the art and the Taoist principles from which it arose. This book provides the basis for not only mastering the martial art of Praying Mantis Kung Fu but also mastering oneself—the true goal of all martial arts.

Download or read book Wing Chun Kung-fu Volume 1 written by Joseph Wayne Smith, Dr. and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 1992-08-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing a new scientific approach to Wing Chun kung-fu, this book gives a clear and detailed exposition of once closely guarded techniques. Rejecting the secretive approach that characterizes much of martial arts writing, the author draws upon biomechanical theory to explain logically and scientifically how the techniques of Wing Chun kung-fu work. After an explanation of the theory behind the various Wing Chun moves, the reader is led step-by-step through each of the forms. Chi gerk and chi sao, the Wing Chun sticky-hand and sticky-leg techniques, are explained and liberally accompanied by 183 photographs detailing the important moves. An additional section devoted to weight and power training for the martial artist makes this book invaluable, not just for those interested in Wing Chun kung-fu, but for practitioners of any martial art.

Book excerpt: Master the many styles of Wing Chun Kung Fu with this expert martial arts guide. With the fame of Bruce Lee, the conditions in Hong Kong, and the hard work and effort of many of his classmates, the Wing Chun of the late master Yip Man became one of the most well-known and popular Chinese martial arts in the world. Although this gave Wing Chun international recognition, it also led to a lot of misconceptions. Due to a lack of authentic information, many mistakenly came to assume that the renowned Yip Man was the sole inheritor of the style and that his Wing Chun was the lone version of the art. In fact, there are several different and distinct systems of Wing Chun. Unfortunately, over the years most of these systems have remained unseen or unreported to all but a few--until now. Profusely illustrated with over 300 historical photographs, Complete Wing Chun: The Definitive Guide to Wing Chun's History and Traditions presents seldom seen information on a dozen branches of the Wing Chun art. It offers the reader side-by-side comparison of these arts by outlining each system in terms of Wing Chun history, principles, basics, and training methods: Yip Man Wing Chun Yuen Kay-San Wing Chun Kuen Gu Lao Wing Chun Kuen Nanyang Wing Chun Kuen Pan Nam Wing Chun Kuen Pao Fa Lien Wing Chun Kuen Hung Suen Wing Chun Kuen and more!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kung Fu, or Chinese martial arts, is a school of fighting techniques that originated in China and has evolved over many centuries. Kung Fu is based on the idea that peak performance in fight and daily life can be attained via the development of physical and mental discipline and the cultivation of internal energy, or Qi. There is a wide variety of Kung Fu styles, each with its own set of principles, practices, and techniques. While some martial arts emphasize speed and power, others place a premium on agility, balance, and accuracy. Despite these distinctions, the ultimate aim of every Kung Fu style is the same: control of one's own body and mind. Kung fu's rise to global prominence in recent decades can be attributed in no small part to media representations of the martial art in various media. For those that study Kung Fu, however, it is much more than just a pastime; it is a way of life, a method of self-defense, and a means of developing one's character. The classic Chinese martial art of Kung Fu has much to offer everybody who is interested in the physical and mental difficulties it presents. Kung Fu is a powerful and ageless art that continues to inspire and challenge practitioners all around the world because of its rich history and dedication to excellence.
