...from a book requires excellent photography so that the subtleties of hand and arm positions can be captured. This otherwise fair book suffers from very dark photographic reproduction that renders it largely unusable.

This is a very good book for anyone wishing to learn Wing Chun Kung Fu from the beginning. K.T. Chao explains each technique and provides examples on its use and application. Lots of drills and exercises, and repetition to master the technique. The photography is not necessarily high quality, but clear enough to follow. Furthermore, his explanations are clear and well written. I was able to learn a lot from this book. I recommend it. I intend to complete the series by obtaining Vol. 2 and 3.

I reccomend the entire set. Chao gives details not found in any other book or video series. The 1 inch punch training info alone is worth the price of the set.
