Foreword For
"Chi Kung, Development and Practical Application
in Wing Chun Kung-Fu"
By Erle Montaigue
(Master Degree, China)
Having read many books on Wing Chun
over my 35 years in the martial arts business, it is with great
pleasure that I now write the foreword for Scott Baker's book. This
book is an attempt to bring Wing Chun out of the purely physical
domain and in to the internal area including such things as Chi Kung
(Qigong) and Dim-Mak. There have been other books that include Dim-Mak,
however, these have been sketchy to say the least. Scott attempts to
delve deeper into the area of point striking, covering acupuncture
points and their effects etc. This book will be a great inclusion in
any Wing Chun player's library.
