Summary: simplistic and poorly illustrated
Review: I agree with the other 1 star reviewer in that this book very poorly illustrates proper technique and is very, very basic. Fortunately, I read it at the book store and therefore did not waste any money.When I found the book on Amazon while searching for other Wing Chun books, I was very surprised to see such good reviews for it. Of course, it could just be the author or friends of the author ;) Especially watch out for anybody who tries to tell you you can learn the martial arts from a book - you can not. You can learn about it, but without qualified instruction, you can't learn how to do it.

Summary: Please, buy another book
Review: I don't know why I keep on buying this kind of manual and after having read this book I've got a good reason to stop. 70 pages of chatting that 'any master' can do. The pictures don't show what the written should want to explain. They don't have a dynamical sequence and it's difficult to realize the words' author. 1 star is enough.

Summary: A MUST buy for the begining Wing Chun practioner
Review: 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

Summary: The essence of martial science...
Review: 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.
