Very good for practical techniques

I found this book very practical, especially in comparison to some other books by the author I have read. The techniques are well described, with good foto's, so that one can practice them easyly. I think a background in a locking-art, like mine in aikido, is important for the basic handling of joints, since the locks can be very dangerous. The book gave me very many variations in my aikido and I liked the many fingerlocks, which I was not familiar with.

Well worth the money.

I have bought many books about martial arts and I have found most to be either too basic or too technicall or too thin. When I saw the price-tag on this book I hesitated to buy it for a long time, but it was well worth the money. Well explained and farily comprehensive, it is the best martial arts book I have bought. It has very clear pictures and good explanations that allow a beginer to pick it up from the book alone. I am very happy with the book.

Very well illustrated technical reference for Chin Na

I have trained in taekwondo for a few years, and bought this book to expand my horizons. Chin Na complements just about any martial style, and this book is an excellent technical illustrated and descriptive guide of Chin Na techniques. I highly recommend it for learning new techniques that complement any martial art style.

A definite must for any martial arts instructors library.

As a long time reader of martial arts books on styles and techniques I would very heartily recommend Dr.Yang's book. It is a very instructive and concise manual presented in a clear and easily interpreted format. Unlike many other martial arts texts, the various techniques are clearly photographed and diagramed with precise instruction to complete each technique successfully in any situation. Begining students as well as long time practitioners can benifit from Dr.Yang's knowledge and expertise
