Eagle Claw Kung Fu: Classical Northern Chinese Fist Book by Shum Leung 2020 Edition (Preowned)

Grandmaster Shum published the original version of EAGLE CLAW KUNG FU Classical Northern Chinese Fist 40 years ago. It was the first book written in English about this ancient art, introducing tens of thousands of people to Ying Jow Pai and the art of kung fu. Long out of print, this important manual has become a highly sought-after collector’s item in the world of martial arts. The original manuscript and photos were lost for many years, but were recently found in Hong Kong by Ng Kwan Pok, son of Ying Jow Pai Great Grandmaster Ng Wai Nung.

The 2020 edition contains the history of Ying Jow Pai, details of the complete basic training program, eagle claw fighting techniques, step-by-step photo instruction of the form Law Hon Kuen (Buddha Fist), plus Grandmaster Shum's thoughts and observations about both eagle claw kung fu and martial arts in general. Some parts have been reformatted and include new material to expand and supplement the teaching. The book is spiral bound, allowing it to be actively used for training without harming the binding.
