Books

Simply ... Wing Chun Kung Fu by Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe

Released in October 2003, second edition released September 2005 (to be published in French in 2007).

This book is a technical, illustrative and diagrammatical analysis of the core theories and principles of Wing Chun. It aims to exemplify and define the musculoskeletal structure that every Wing Chun student and instructor utilises in the practice and deployment of their Wing Chun. Rather than containing glamorous photographs of the author, the book contains computer generated illustrations by the author based upon the hand drawn illustrations that he uses in his daily teaching and those included in a published article within the 'Grandmaster Yip Man Centenary Birth Book' (1993).

"In order to progress and develop in Wing Chun, it is vital to understand what you are doing, how you should do it and the reason and theory behind each technique and position. Therefore, throughout this book each technique and position is illustrated with its triangulated structure and support shown to reinforce the idea that the correct skeletal structure, combined with minimal and efficient muscular energy can create a shape that can withstand and redirect a much greater force. In addition, by utilising correct, efficient body mechanics, a small movement can be fast, effective and extremely powerful without undue stress or risk to the muscles, tendons or bones."
