Wing Chun Kung-Fu Volume 2: Fighting & Grappling

Smith follows up volume one in this Wing Chun trilogy with another fine effort, this time detailing the techniques and tactics of the style. The material in this book can be used creatively as a guide to the applications of the forms described in volume one. This edition also contains an introduction to Chi Sau exercises, a vital component to Wing Chun training. What I like most about Smith is his open-minded perspective; in this book, he sights some of the strengths and weaknesses of the style, and he's not afraid to suggest solutions for oversights such as fighting outside trapping range and the lack of power strikes (readers might also consider a Wing Chun practitioner's vulnerability to a skilled wrestler's attack, an issue not addressed here). Another excellent analysis of this practical and highly efficient martial art.

If your interested in finding out what all the hype is about, or just wanting some interesting techniques to try out, buy this book. it covers dar mak, chin na, and many combination hand and feet techniques. A very good compliment to a wing chun student's martial arts library

Dr. smith in this book goes into chi gerk. He also brings up the interesting subject on how wing chun can be improved. He proposes an integration of Muay thai, White crane (pak hok kuen), and Wing chun. This new 'style', would be called Sun Tzu Kuen. He also demonstrates Chi sao.
