108 Movements of the Shaolin Wooden-Men Hall #1 (Pt. 1) by Ting, Leung (1998) Paperback Paperback

Fast Delivery, Excellent Book, Great for Martial Arts

4 out of 5 . both books are good. shows basic punches,palms, kicks, claws and joint locking technques of shaolin gung fu. No big secrets or fancy movements though.

Like all Chinese arts, well the classical ones, there is more hidden than revealed. You'll have to find the hidden treasures yourself though. The 108 techniques are fairly solid run of the mill wu shu when viewed as such and are interesting enough to those unfamiliar with the classical arts. One problem I have with these volumes is at the end there is a message from the original author that alludes to a "wooden men hall test". I would dearly love to find out what that was. The volumes offer no clues that I can find and so far, my research has been fruitless.
