Summary:
"Wing Chun is the most popular form of Chinese Kung Fu in the world today, with over four million practitioners. The art as it is presently understood has been handed down from teacher to student for more than three hundred years. This book, by Wing Chun master Danny Xuan and martial-arts authority John Little, seeks to decipher the techniques that until now have been encrypted within this art."
