Master the advanced weapons, training tools and combat principles of authentic Wing Chun. In Wing Chun Kung-fu Volume 3: Weapons & Advanced Techniques, the concluding volume in Dr. Joseph Wayne Smith's Wing Chun series, readers explore the training tools and traditional weapons that complete the Wing Chun system. Using a practical, scientific approach, Smith explains not only how each weapon is used, but why these training methods remain effective today. Step-by-step instruction covers the Wing Chun Wooden Dummy for developing trapping, striking and kicking skills, the Butterfly Knives for offensive and defensive techniques, and the Six-and-a-Half Pole, one of the system's most iconic weapons.
