The Art of Shaolin Kung Fu: The Secrets of Kung Fu for Self-Defense, Health, and Enlightenment (Tuttle Martial Arts) Review

I began practicing Eagle Claw Kung Fu only a couple of months ago. I bought this book during my first month. I found it very useful as a means to introduce myself into the art, and to learn about related practices such as Chi Kung and Tai Chi. Tne book also talks about Zen and the Spiritual aspects of Kung Fu.

If you are interested in learning how to practice Kung Fu, definitely this is not your book. (Perhaps it is impossible to learn a martial art from a book.) This book, however, provides you with good tips to focus your training,and introduces you to the art, its philosophy, and other related and also very important practices.

I strogly reccomend this book, as well as Kiew Kit's other books on Chi Kung. The author writes very clearly and his books are entertaining. He appears to master Kung Fu holistically and to be well developed in the external and internal aspects of it.

The Art of Shaolin Kung Fu: The Secrets of Kung Fu for Self-Defense, Health, and Enlightenment (Tuttle Martial Arts) Overview

Martial arts for the non-violent - HallonTaton -
Very comprehensive and well-written account of the Shaolin way of life. Might be a little esoteric but it is to be expected of a book intended for westerners who are eager to connect mind and body through a rigorous training and spiritual nurturing. Carefully illustrated but would be equally eloquent without the many drawings illustrating the various exercises.

Full bodied - Susheel Chandradhas -
This book is a solid introduction in to they hows and whys of kung fu. However, reading the book and viewing the illustrations reminds you that Kung Fu is so much more... It makes you realise the need for a skilled and wise instructor. This is in itself an invaluable lesson.

Great Beginners Book - Red Sox Fan - Los Angeles, CA USA
As a beginner with my son, this book on Shaolin Kung Fu was very informative and the diagrams were very well done. The book starts with a description of what is kung fu to the many forms and techniques of the art. I would highly recommend the book to any parent trying to introduce their child to the method of self-defense.
