This book by Dr. Yang Jwing Ming is thought of highly by some and I have heard many good things about this book. Does anyone own it, is it worth the price, does it show the applications to the forms, does it show other sword technique like: how to grip the sword, basic attacks with a sword, some history, etc. Would anyone recommend me to buy this book.

P.S. anyone know any other good books on Shaolin gong fu along with applications of the forms.
