Greetings,
Thought his book came out in late 2008, it is definitely the book to have if you have not yet purchased it. This book differs from the usual "martial arts book" that simply gives you a touch of history and a few basics; it throws you into the world of Combat Shuai Chiao. This book is governed by two elements, the elements of fire and water. The fire is clearly indicated by the author's (David C.K. Lin Sifu) love and devotion to his art. The water is in the passion through which the art is showcased: a total visual immersion that is fantastic. I have picked up this book to look at several times to marvel, enjoy and, yes, learn. While I recommend it to all MA practitioners, I think it would be of great interest to Long Fist practitioners (learn the true meaning of the word "wipe") and to those of the Lohan Shaolin traditions.
Thank you, Lin Sifu, for such a great read.
