    Wong Hon Fun books

    Greetings,
    For those interested, someone is selling a 16 volume set of the WHF books (in Chinese), on EBAY:
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...691838535&rd=1

    I always get emails asking about these books and ebay has them once and awhile.

    Greetings

    Sifu Carl,

    It is indeed good to hear from you! For those who do not know, Sifu Carl was recently inducted into Aaron Banks' martial arts hall of fame. It is no small matter as he is listed among such artists as Jerry Cooney who was inducted at the same time. He has given a lifetime to the arts and is being recognized as such.

    As for the books, they are the real deal and well worth the price. If you are a WHF practitioner, they are increasingly rare. My book to be out in November will teach you to read the first third of these so even if you don't read Chinese now, they are an investment in the future.

    Thank you Sifu Carl for making us aware of this.

    Sincerely,

    Steve Cottrell

    It's simpler than you think.

    A Little Help

    OSO

    TLC#1-6 are WHF Books
    4direction
    bungbo
    chopchoi
    first route essence
    plum flower fist
    plum flower falls

    TLC#11-13 are WHF Books
    white ape
    arhat skill
    plum flower hand

    It is a great thing that these are being preserved for future generations. With such a wealth of information in our hands, it is, to me, increasingly clear that for WHF practitioners, a knowledge of Chinese is essential to fully appreciate our heritage.

    Anyway, hope it helps,

    It's rough but this might help:
