    San Shou books

    Does anyone know of any good books on san shou? Not the "san shou explained in 10 easy pictures" type. I'm looking for one as a sort of reference of techniques, not to learn from, just to expose myself to and to serve as a reminder, and another one that goes through san shou from a trainers perspective, not so I can try instruct, but just to gain an extra viewpoint.

    Thanks
    Michael

    I like to think of it as the positive aspect of negative thinking.

    I know Karate, Kung Fu, and 47 other dangerous words

    young and senile...

    Probably goes without saying, but books you've purchased or read, not just heard about.

    There are none in the English language that I know of pertaining specifically to san shou.

    here's a good one

    "From East to West the san shou kung fu of the chinese red army" by Matthew Hui, publsihed by Paladin Press.
    I can give you a link to a bunch of them from China, as well, if you wish, but I haven't read those and can't recommend them. They're cheap enough though.

    If military san shou/ sanda is your thing, Dennis Rovere has a book and 2-tape video set on the san shou (armed and unarmed) of the PRC's Wu Jing (military police).
