Wing Chun Book
Recently finished reading the book Wing Chun Kung Fu by J. Yimm Lee. The book was printed in 1972 by Ohara. Publications, Incorporated. The ISBN number for the book is 0-89750-037-7. It is an easy read. It explains a lot topics textually and pictorially like stances, centerline theory, four corners, footwork, Sil-Lim-Tao, and kicks to name a few. Note of interest: The author says he trained under Bruce Lee when he lived in Oakland, CA. Bruce Lee is named the Technical Editor of the book.

I remember reading this along with the ‘Bruce Lee Fighting Method’ books as a kid. I wasn’t sure they would have aged well… Or that they’d still be in print! I’ve ordered a copy on your recommendation 👍

I’ve been referencing this book along with my training. It’s great. He explains Ying and Yang very well to understand the concept along with practical application in Wing Chun. He was not only a student of Bruce Lee, but also one of his main trainers at Bruce Lee’s Oakland location. I really liked his description of the imoveable elbow, the centerline box, why certain moves are better than others to keep centered.
