I can only parrot what others here have said so much better than I: This book is a must for anyone walking the path of Wing Chun, regardless of lineage. It is jam packed full of tips and photos and wisdom and was obviously written as a labor of love. I have my own Sifu and his word comes first; but many of us in my school have this book- and the second volume (out now, covers the Mook Jong and the Bot Jam Dao)- and believe them to be a "must have" addition to the library of any Wing Chun player. Thank you Sifu Belonoha!

The Wing Chun Compendium, Volume One Overview

The Wing Chun Compendium explains the theory of wing chun from a technical, lifestyle, and philosophical perspective. Written by Wayne Belonoha — a certified Ving Tsun Instructor and National Certified Coach, 7th Level, Master Degree — the compendium offers hundreds of tips and techniques specifically designed to help readers advance to the next stage. The Wing Chun Compendium is divided into eight sections, including Theory, Techniques, Drills, Chi Sau (Sticky Hands), Forms, Pressure Points, Health and Fitness, and Terminology.

Students of all levels will find tips for improving technique and gaining benefits from the book's instruction in over 20 of the top skill-building drills and exercises, such as the Maai Sang Jong and Bong Guek (Sticky Legs) drills. Covering all three hand forms (Siu Nim Tau, Cham Kiu, and Biu Ji), it also provides a detailed examination of each movement and application and features an extensive terminology section that includes the Chinese characters and both Cantonese and Mandarin pronunciations for over 200 of the most common wing chun terms. The compendium concludes with Grandmaster Sunny Tang's special article, "Reflections of Siu Nim Tau After 30 Years."
