Yes it is. It has a fresh look on Pak Mei. Much better than some other recently published books. For the well informed Pak Mei student not that much new news, but I am happy to have it in my collection.

Are you the writer of this book? or is your "screen name" juts a coincidence?

s_r: did you consider "Fung Ngan" is just "Phoenix Eye"?

Yes, but its also a variation of the name on the book: S.L. Fung

No I am not the writer, just a student and "collector". And a critical reader, this is not a bad book. Not the standard book that chews the usual history of Pak Mei without doing some research. Compared to the other books available about Pak Mei it has a fresh few.

I don't know but I am going to buy it anyway. I have read a bit about it and I believe that it could turn out to be an interesting read. It seems to have been written by someone who actually practices and understands legit. Pak Mei.

The Book is written by my Si-hing. Both of us are students of Kwong Man Fong in NYC.

The book is great in the explanations not just in the Pak mei System, but on Martial Arts and Chinese culture as well.

It is amusing to see participants here still assuming people will actually comment on there own book ,video, articles. :D

As others have comment it is a different approach on how Pak mei is looked upon, and not just on how secretive and deadly the style is.

So, Firehawk4 you may just enjoy the book. If you decide to purchase it?

That is quite refreshing.
