Foreword For "Chi Kung, Development and
Practical Application in Wing Chun
Kung-Fu"
By Erle
Montaigue (Master Degree, China)
Having
read many books on Wing Chun over my 35 years in the martial arts business,
it is with great pleasure that I now write the foreword for Scott Baker's
book. This book is an attempt to bring Wing Chun out of the purely physical
domain and in to the internal area including such things as Chi Kung (Qigong)
and Dim-Mak. There have been other books that include Dim-Mak, however, these
have been sketchy to say the least. Scott attempts to delve deeper into the
area of point striking, covering acupuncture points and their effects etc.
This book will be a great inclusion in any Wing Chun player's library.
