Hung Gar Kung-Fu

Summary: one of Ohara's 70s classics
Review: A very comprehensive little book on Hung Gar boxing by a fine artist.Includes:breathing,stretching,stances,form&application,footwork diagrams for each movement,as well as informative reading.Back in the 70s Ohara was pretty much THE source for martial arts guidebooks and they set a standard that is still very competitive with the newly pulished works of today.This book along with:Wing Chun-James Yimm lee,Sil Lum kung fu-Leo T. Fong,Choy Lay Fut-Leo Fong,White Crane gung fu-Michael Staples,and Muay Thai Kickboxing-Hardy Stockman,are all fine examples of Ohara's great martial arts books of the 70s.

Summary: Excellent book
Review: This book is a great book for the introduction to Hung Gar, or a student already adept in it. The book covers the history of the 5 animals used in Hung Gar, as well as the footwork of each animal and attacking patterns of each animal. This book also discusses the philosophy of Chinese Boxing/Hung Gar plus the foundations of the system. I highly recommend this.
