It is a highly effective, easy-to-use method of self-defense. It is a superb form of training for both health and overall physical fitness. Phoenix-Eye-Fist, with well over 600 photographs, presents in clear, step-by-step detail the history of Chuka Shaolin, fundamental techniques, training methods, the complete basic pattern for solo practice, and finally examples of the art as actually used in self-defense. This book is a unique guide to the techniques and training methods of Southern Shaolin. ----------------- BOOK DETAILS Publisher ‏:    Weatherhill (January 1, 1997)Language :   EnglishPaperback : ‎ 170 pages /  9.00 x 6.25 x 0.50 inchesISBN-10 :      0834801272ISBN-13 :      978-0834801271
