Great job on this book. Very interesting from a historical perspective. It’s great seeing Sifu demonstrate, too. Brian, when does the next book with sets 4, 5, 7, and choy-lay fut come out?
Rating: 5 / 5
This is a book on #6 of the northern shaolin style of kung fu. This basic set is usually taught first because of simplicity. The text and interpretation of the set is mediocre at the most. What is special about this book it that the person who is demonstrating the moves, is master Lai Hung himself. For those who know the man, you know what I mean.
Rating: 3 / 5
A fairly shallow and not so well backed-up look at an underappreciated martial arts discipline. Many of the pictures depict half hearted versions of the techniques, and honestly no serious martial artist should attempt to learn any style from a book. I picked it up on a whim hoping it would focus more on history and philosophy than picture-based instruction.
While not wholly terrible, I am not sure for whom this would be particularly beneficial.
Rating: 2 / 5
Thanks to Mark for telling me about this book. I am so excited to see Sifu Lai Hung’s teachings in print. Preservation of Kung-Fu tradition is a very important task. Look forward to see more published on set 4, 5, 7, and spear set.

The Sifu Lai Hung and his disciple Brian Klingborg have created a wonderful and informative book. For those searching for the “right” martial art, this book deftly weaves the art along with the grace and skill of Northern Shaolin Kung-Fu. The pictures are dark at times, lending an air of mystique to the overall form and function of Kung-Fu. Sifu Lai Hung’s ability and presence radiates off of the page.
