The Wing Chun Compendium: Volume Two: 2

A wonderful read, full of useful information outlined in an intelligent and concise manner. I've re read it multiple times and use it as a constant source of reference. It's also extremely well bound and written on quality paper. A.must have for any wing chun practitioner, from beginner to master.

Just what I wanted

Great book, well illustrated easy read. If you study wing chun great to have in your collection.

Was brought as a gift, he had volume one in soft back so decided to buy volume 2 in hard back, looks good such a good quality book and explains so much in detail

Bought it for a friend and he loved it.

wonderfull

Excelent

One of two books, best to have both. The volumes creates in the reader two conflicting feelings. One is gratitude for having set out so much - but still not enough - about the art and thus providing an overview and elaboration. The second feeling is that the publishing format has exploited every possible means of enlarging the book - possibly to no good benefit for the reader. As a beginner I appreciated the photo sequences for the various forms, although at times thought it fell victim to the problem common to such books of photo quality. Belonoha conveys the cultural feel of Wing Chun which may appeal to a certain kind of reader.

Das hier ist wohl eines der besten Wing Chun Gesamtwerke, die man derzeit finden kann. Alle Formen (auch die "höchsten") werden recht ausführlich beschrieben. Dazu gibt es Beschreibungen der Anwendung der Form-Technik. Hier findet man alles was man braucht über den gesamten Stil. Ein hochwertig gemachtes Nachschlagewerk mit vielen Infos.

Une référence de ce magnifique art martial, dans un anglais simple, il est vraiment bien expliqué avec des illustrations très bonnes, tous pratiquants de wing chun ou ving tsun devrais avoir les 2 tome dans ça bibliothèque personnelle, je recommande vivement.

Ordered early, arrived very quickly. Beautiful book, excellent condition. Have used this seller for other books and would I do again.

This review is actually for both "The Wing Chun Compendium Vol.1 and 2." To begin with I have purchased numerous books related to martial arts over the years and found most lacking at best. Usually the books attempt to offer a general description of the style and basic history. Then move on to demonstrate forms and maybe a few applications with some low quality pictures. Rarely does a martial art book provide insight beyond a basic idea what a style looks like. So I'm carefull these days about buying martial arts related books. Most often such publications just offer a glimpse of what a style might be like. Happy to say these are far different. The only complaint I have is a feeling the original volume 1, didn't have all the material it should to provide a complete view of Wing Chun. For example the wooden dummy and weapons are covered in volume 2. So I couldn't recommend buying just either book. Besides the wealth of material offered in both is too good to pass up. These volumes offer all the things one might expect..description, history, forms, etc. yet have lots of drills and other training methods not found in any other source I have seen. If there were anything secret about Wing Chun, the info. is out there for students now. For any Wing Chun students these are must have.

ótimo livro assim como o volume um,muito técnico,eu que pratiquei o Wing chum por vários anos não podia deixar de te-lo,agora acho que o autor deveria publicar um volume somente com aplicações práticas em defesa pessoal.
