The first volume in a two-part series that explores the theory of Wing
Chun--a style of kung fu and self-defense--from a technical, lifestyle,
and philosophical perspective
Written by Wayne Belonoha--a certified Ving Tsun Instructor and National
Certified Coach, 7th Level, Master Degree--The Wing Chun Compendium
offers hundreds of tips and techniques specifically designed to help
readers advance to the next stage.
The Wing Chun Compendium is divided into eight sections, including
Theory, Techniques, Drills, Chi Sau (Sticky Hands), Forms, Pressure
Points, Health and Fitness, and Terminology. Students of all levels will
find tips for improving technique and gaining benefits from the book's
instruction in over twenty of the top skill-building drills and
exercises, such as the Maai Sang Jong and Bong Guek (Sticky Legs)
drills. Covering all three hand forms (Siu Nim Tau, Cham Kiu, and Biu
Ji), it also provides a detailed examination of each movement and
application and features an extensive terminology section that includes
the Chinese characters and both Cantonese and Mandarin pronunciations
for over two hundred of the most common wing chun terms. The compendium
concludes with Grandmaster Sunny Tang's special article, "Reflections of
Siu Nim Tau After 30 Years."
