Title: Chi Power by William Cheung ISBN: 0-89750-110-1 Publisher: Ohara Publications Pub. Date: 01 June, 1986 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.3 (10 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Ok, as far as it goes
Comment: William Cheung's books are not as much instruction manuals, as they are student notebooks, to be used to help remember detailed instruction. "How To Build Chi Power" is indeed a misleading title, as there are only a few chi exercises, and the bulk of the book is taken up with the form Sil Lum Tao.
What you get: The direction in which Chi is supposed to flow when performing Sil Lum Tao.
What you don't get: How to start feeling chi. How to build chi up to substantial levels, where you can actually feel it flow or use it to power your movements. Why or how during some of Sil Lum Tao movements, chi/energy flows contrary to the physical movement itself.
In short, useful if you're an intermediate to advanced Wing Chun student, useless for finding out about Chi if you're not. Personally, I like the simplicity of the Sil Lum Tao form for building up chi, but I've tapped very different sources to come this far - mainly teachings about Tai Chi.
Rating: 5
Summary: Chi power as it relates to Wing Chun Kuen
Comment: This book is not for someone wanting general information and basic chi kung exercises. This book details the flow of chi in doing the first form of Wing Chun, the Sil Lum Tao form. Briefly describes chi meridians, five element theory, and some other chinese medical ideas. Good section on breathing and self massage of some important acupoints on the arms that stimulate the organs through their respective channels. Shows proper Wing Chun blocks and strikes, showing transitional movements and direction of energy. Demonstates complete Sil Lum Tao form, showing chi direction. Ends with a chapter on chi sao techniques and applications. A great book for those interested in Wing Chun, has the best description of the Sil Lum Tao I've seen, compared to about 5 other books. If you want a chi kung book, don't buy this, get Way of Energy by Lam, or his other book, Chi Kung.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good Book to Have
Comment: The main problem with the book is that the title is misleading. If you are thinking about purchasing this book to learn about chi or how to develop this then this book only deserves a one star, and you will be better off finding another book. However, if you are looking for a book that goes in to detail on the Sil Lum Tao form and diagrams how your internal energy should flow, then this book is for you.
Despite it's misleading title this is a good book to own, especially if you are studying Wing Chun.
