Wing Chun Illustrated

詳細資訊

➤ The Wooden Dummy is not just a tool;
it is a reflection of the core philosophy and techniques of Wing Chun,
as well as a testament to the bond of master and disciple.
This book, for the first time in a comprehensive and systematic manner,
uses the Wooden Dummy to delve deeply into the core principles and training methods of Guangzhou Wing Chun.
Even if you are a beginner with no prior experience in Wing Chun,
you will find guidance and confidence here to begin your journey.


➤ Guangzhou Wing Chun primarily consists of two major lineages: the Yuen Kay Shan lineage and the Sum Nung lineage from Foshan.

The Guangzhou Wing Chun Academy was founded in 2010 by the author, Master Li Ka Tat, to honor the late """"Wing Chun Madman"""" Wong Kam (Kam Yeh) and to preserve and pass on the unique martial arts essence taught by Master Leung Dai Chiu and Kam Yeh.

This book documents the teaching highlights of Master Leung Dai Chiu, a senior disciple of Grandmaster Sum Nung. His guidance was precise and meticulous, laying a solid foundation through attention to every detail. This blend of rigor and approachability in his teaching style represents one of the most touching aspects of Wing Chun's heritage.

Additionally, you will encounter rare content from both the Yuen Kay Shan and Sum Nung lineages of Wing Chun. With multi-angle illustrations and a first-person perspective, every technique’s force, rhythm, and underlying principles are vividly presented before your eyes.

The book also includes an extraordinary collection of rare materials:
a metal Wooden Dummy handcrafted by the late Master Leung Dai Chiu, of which only a few remain. These dummies are carefully preserved by his family in New York. To miss it would be to miss an invaluable story of heritage.
