Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looks at southern Chinese martial arts traditions and how they have become important to local identity and narratives of resistance. This book explores the social history of southern Chinese martial arts and their contemporary importance to local identity and narratives of resistance. Hong Kongs Bruce Lee ushered the Chinese martial arts onto an international stage in the 1970s. Lees teacher, Ip Man, master of Wing Chun Kung Fu, has recently emerged as a highly visible symbol of southern Chinese identity and pride. Benjamin N. Judkins and Jon Nielson examine the emergence of Wing Chun to reveal how this body of social practices developed and why individuals continue to turn to the martial arts as they navigate the challenges of a rapidly evolving environment. After surveying the development of hand combat traditions in Guangdong Province from roughly the start of the nineteenth century until 1949, the authors turn to Wing Chun, noting its development, the changing social attitudes towards this practice over time, and its ultimate emergence as a global art form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wing Chun is the most popular form of Chinese Kung Fu in the world today, with over four million practitioners. The art as it is presently understood has been handed down from teacher to student for more than three hundred years. Until now, no one has ever stepped back and taken a critical look at why this art’s techniques are presented and performed the way they are. This book, by Wing Chun master Danny Xuan and martial-arts authority John Little, is the first to decipher these techniques that until now have been encrypted within this art. Xuan and Little reveal how Wing Chun was designed holistically, based on the laws of physics, human nature, and biomechanics. It was also designed with economy, efficiency, and productivity in mind. Unlike other martial arts, Wing Chun doesn’t focus on making a person larger, more rugged, acrobatic or animal-like; rather, it focuses on making optimal use of one’s own bodily structure and power potential by applying the sciences of biomechanics and physics. Thus, it is possible for males and females of all ages and sizes to excel in this art. The Tao of Wing Chun provides a readable, authoritative means of cultivating personal protection skills, enhanced flexibility, improved coordination, greater stamina, and physical and mental fitness while simultaneously cultivating humility, focus, determination, self-confidence, character, camaraderie, and deep inner strength. Foremost, this book offers the reader the means by which to apply Wing Chun principles in daily life. Enhanced by forty-eight full-color illustrations, The Tao of Wing Chun will fascinate, educate, and entertain a wide range of readers—from beginner to master.

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!

Book excerpt: Although the art of wing chun kung-fu is perhaps one of the most popular martial arts in the world, it was kept very much private until the 1950's. Hailing from mainland China, the Yuan Kay-San system of wing chun, one of the most rare and elusive branches of the art, is finally introduced to the Western world. For the first time in book form, Rene Ritchie, one of the art's leading scholars, shares the fundamentals of the Yuen Kay-San system of wing chun. Included are the history, concepts, and foundation of the art, the sup yee sik and siu lien tao forms, and their practical applications. For beginners, it serves as a great introduction to wing chun; for the seasoned practitioner, it offers a new and unique perspective into the art.

Book excerpt: Millions of people passionately not only practice but seriously study the art of Wing Chun. Practitioners spend a lot of time in learning all aspects of the art, not only technical but historical, cultural, social, even religious, etc. While all these points are equally important for full understanding the art, seems that the point with the most interest is historical one. Wing Chun history was and still is a matter of myths and legends more than anything else. Influence, prestige, social status in the local and global Wing Chun community, honor, tradition, all these things are closely connected to art's history which holds a special place in overall Wing Chun culture. It is no surprise, due to all these reasons, there are so many different version of the art's history. While this is not the only book on the subject of history and development of Wing Chun it is unique in a way that it is made by following scientific method of historical science to the highest possible degree. This book separates myths and legends from facts and gives a clear and impartial view on historical development of different Wing Chun linages form the time of Taiping rebellion to this day. Considering the importance of history in Chinese martial arts in general and especially in Wing Chun, this book is the necessary part of the literature every practitioner must have in his library.
