Customer Reviews

Excellent source

Kung Fu basics, is an excellent book great for beginners, gives one insight to what one is trying to do with ones body, while training. This is not a substitute for actual instruction, but it can be a help. Worth the investment.

Know thy basics

Well written and illustrated for understanding the basics of gung fu. Sometimes in class you may not pick up the subtle differences in foot position or receive conflicting advice on what the proper stance is. This book will help in sorting out the basics. The author also does a good job of referring the reader back to their instructor when a position is interpreted differently by various styles.

Liked it, got me ready

Nice book, I have been studying choy lay fut kung fu for about 4 months and this was a great primer before my first class. Made me understand so I did not have to ask so many questions, and I truly think it accelerated my learning! Nice book!

A must for anyone learning or wanting to learn kung fu!!!

This is an excellent book for beginers and even experienced martial artists. Sifu Eng is an excellent teacher and puts a great deal of insight into his writing.
