Wing Chun is one of the most mysterious and effective forms of Kung-Fu ever developed. Its unique training exercises and principles give the practitioner the ability to often overcome larger and stronger opponents, as well as “first strike” speed. Legend has it that a woman who witnessed a hawk fighting a snake originally developed the system. She observed how the snake evaded the hawk and was always able to strike first by following a linear pattern and using a springing type of energy.

Alan Lamb, a Hong Kong trained instructor of Wing Chun with over 30 years of experience, now brings this unique system into the 21st century, adapting it to today’s street. In volume 1 he gives the reader the essential part of any good fighting system – the foundation. In photo after photo, he clearly depicts such vital topics as proper breathing and stance work, as well as Wing Chun’s unusual and highly effective punching and kicking principles.

The reader is then introduced to several other fighting principles unique to Wing Chun, such as simultaneous attack and defense, pak sau (slap block) and trapping hands. Following the principle that the best defense is an aggressive and devastating response, this book is the first work of its kind to present one of the world’s most scientific and proven martial arts in a modern context.
