The Secrets of Eagle Claw Kung
Fu: Ying Jow PaFor the first time, with publication of
The Secrets of Eagle Claw Kung Fu: Ying Jow Pai, the Western
reader has access to one of the most fascinating genuine Chinese
martial art traditions. One of the few modern Chinese martial
arts derived primarily from military combat experience, Eagle
Claw kung fu is a powerful system featuring advanced
locking-hand moves perfected over centuries of martial and civil
conflict in China. Kung fu and t'ai chi master Leung Shum brings
this timeless art to today's practitioners, going beneath the
veneer of gymnastic athleticism for which the style is justly
famous, and revealing many of its essential principles and
providing insider tips. Sifu Shum explains the fundamentals of
Eagle Claw kung fu, including the crucial first thirty
locking-hand techniques, the wide array of punches and kicks,
and the all-important signature claws of Ying Jow Pai. Hundreds
of photographs supplement the text, creating the ultimate guide
to Eagle Claw kung fu.
Sifu Leung Shum began the study of kung fu and t'ai chi
ch'uan at the age of eight. Raised in Hong Kong, he moved to New
York City in 1971, where he opened the first Eagle Claw school
for the general public in the United States. He has taught
thousands of students, been proviled in martial arts magazines,
and featured in several videotapes on the arts of Eagle Claw and
t'ai chi ch'uan.
