Description
Wing Chun Kung Fu is now a famous Chinese Martial Art system used worldwide for self defence and is commonly known for its simple but effective direct lines of attack and defence, as well as attention to detail in all areas, including; fight science; body structure; self development, and good health. Ip Man, through his Wing Chun Kung Fu lineage, is well known today thanks to his most famous student, Bruce Lee, following his rise to fame in the film industry. Outside of this, Ip Man was also the father and Sifu of Grandmaster Ip Chun, his oldest son. Master Colin Ward , a direct and senior student to Grandmaster Ip Chun, is Sifu Sean Mann's Wing Chun teacher in the U.K. This book is a complete guide to learning how to train, develop and use the Ip Man Wing Chun first form, Si Lim Tao, or Si Nim Tao, depending on what Ip Man lineage you train in.

As well as learning all form hand positions in order, this book is complete with all the form's applications; theories; Wing Chun history; centre line theory, and all the form's terms, along with their translations. It also provides an understanding on how to develop both external and internal training methods; correct posture and stance understanding, as well as much more.
