Easy to understand and easy to follow. I am just beginning to study and this book lays everything out in a way that helps me immensely. The use of photos is invaluable for thorough comprehension.

This book is perfect for any individual who wants to learn more about the art of Kung Fu. This author does not center himself on only one style as almost every other kung fu author does. Instead he takes the different styles of kung fu and explains them in a very easy to understand way, revealing their similarities and differences. The training techniques are universal and effective. You really feel like you get a solid and thorough education.
*** the drills and exercises here are a great workout.

I really liked this book. It's not too long and is very detailed and easy to follow. The author dives into Kung Fu training and outlines every part of it. He explains everything so you really feel like you understand it when you're finished. Each chapter of the book covers a different part of Kung Fu and strips it down to the basics. After that he uses key boxes that reveal how experts perform the techniques. This is like the rosetta stone of Kung Fu. It's great for beginners or anyone. I really enjoy how the author looks a Kung Fu. I can't recommend it enough.

This guy just gets how to write and teach martial arts. The book navigates you through the art of kung fu in an easy, yet thorough and enjoyable read. The book is broken down into several chapters, each one discussing different aspects of kung fu. The author's use of "key boxes" in these chapters summarizes the essential mechanics of the art into simple, but still detailed layman's terms. These boxes are a great device to understanding the inner workings of the art and include more than just how to practice properly. Each of the subjects or movements are broken down, revealing kung fu training and application in an easy manner. The pictures in the book are very good; straightforward and not hard to follow like many other martial arts books are. I just got this book and I already believe this is one of the better books on my shelf and in the market. It is not only useful, but very interesting to anyone with even a slight interest of the art.
