Anybody have this book:
Lung Ying Mork Kiu (Dragon Fist Rubbing Bridge) by Chow Fook
Recommended? I dont practice Southern Dragon but would like to learn more about it, even if just historical, etc.
Lovely book by Master Chow Fook.
Mostly written in chinese but there is a short portion that is in english.
Can I ask why you are interested?? The form shown in this set is one that is oftern demo'd so you might get a feel for what is happening from watching others but the full movements are not completely obvious from just looking at the pictures. You certainly won't understand the methods of power generation in Lung Ying from just copying what is in the book.
FWIW

Sorry re-reading your post I might add if it is history etc that you want you will probably find out as much from wikipedia or from looking at a few web pages as you would get from buying the book.
Still it is a nice little book for someone who already knows the set. Props to Sifu C.S. Tang for producing it.
Hope that helps.

Hey R,
Thanks for the input. The main reason I wanted this book was just to familiarize myself with the style since there are basically NO other books out there on Southern Dragon. I like to have books on other gung fu styles than what I practice. The only place on the internet I found to buy the book is the authors website (Its currently unavailable on plumpub)
Thanks
Well mate you best be off to YouTube and take a peek at what is on offer :' )
There are also some chinese sites about that show LY vids.
Honestly I don't think the book is worth your money if you don't understand what is being demonstrated. You might be ok if you train in another Hakka art or something similar but then again if you did I doubt you would be on here asking.
I would suggest that you take a look at the vids of Master Chen Luk San as a start.

The author of the book in question...plum pub usually has it. Been out of stock for a few years at other carriers.

Out beyond the ideas of wrong doing and right doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

any clips of Master Chow Fook doing dragon? love the bak mei clips
Don't think there are any about on the net. There are 2 clips of him doing Sup Baat Mor Kiu but they are truncated for demo purposes. The first is the one posted by Dr Rob.
Here is the second clip of SBMK in case you have not seen it.

I understand that at this time he has a prosthetic leg so it seems pretty amazing that he can perform.
