Combat Baguazhang Nine Dragon System: Forms and Principles
John Painter
Unique Publications, 2007
Very detailed.
This is an excellent book for either the beginning student of Baguazhang such as myself, or an advanced player as well. Dr. Painter's writing is clear and concise. He tackles a wide range of subjects, from the basic stretching and warming up you first learn to more ...
Xing Yi Nei Gong: Xing Yi Health Maintenance and Internal Strength Development
Dan Miller
,
Tim Cartmell
Unique Publications, 1998
One of the great internal martial arts books
This book will not teach you Wu Xing (the five fists of Xing Yi) or any of the animal forms and linking forms. It won't teach you how to fight. It is NOT another "chi gong" book. As the title states, it is "nei-gong" (roughly, "internal work" or "internal exercise") ...
Kung Fu: History, Philosophy, and Technique (Kung-Fu)
David Chow
,
Richard Spangler
Unique Publications, 1980
EXCELLENT BOOK...
This is a GREAT book. I originally picked up a copy half price in the bargain bin at a used bookstore. I would have purchased it sooner but didn't know if it was good or not. This is one of the greatest Kung Fu books I have ever found. It shows technique of ...
Dynamic Stretching and Kicking
Bill Wallace
Unique Publications, 1981
The best kicking and stretching book
I am an adult that has returned to martial arts after several decades off. This is the best book that I have found to explain how to become a more effecient kicker. Wallace explains and shows the techninques that one will need to improve their kicking. I believe ...
Principles, Analysis, and Application of Effortless Combat Throws
Tim Cartmell
Unique Publications, 2005
A martial arts classic
The first 50 pages of this book, which I think many readers may skip over, are absolute gold. Most Westerners, myself included for a long time, don't get, buy into, or even care about 'qi', that internal force that predominates in certain martial arts. Tim Cartmell ...
Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu = [Shao Lin Ch8Ang Ch8öUan] (Unique Literary Books of the World)
Jwing-Ming Dr. Yang
,
Jeffery A. Bolt
Unique Publications, 1981
A Literal Bible on Shaolin Long Fist
This book is so incredibly detailed, and so amazingly well written that I would consider moving to Boston to train under this great man myself. The only book I have EVER found in my life that is so powerfully efficient. Don't skip this up, this is not the average ...
Combat Baguazhang Nine Dragon System, Volume Two
John P Painter
Unique Publications, 2007
Baguazhang as a modern day self defense system.
This book and the first book by John Painter are the first books that I have seen that have the primary goal of teaching Baguazhang as a modern day self defense system. Other books seem to be more focused on the cultural or personal experience aspects. In these books, ...
Xing Yi Quan Xue: The Study of Form-Mind Boxing
Sun Lu Tang
Unique Publications, 2000
great book, if you have a background in Xing Yi
I first bought this book about a year ago, having never studied Xing Yi. I tried to go through it, work through it, but it seemed to me that in so many ways the book was very vauge and cryptic. I have a background in Tai Chi Chuan, but even that did not help me distill ...
Dynamic Strength
Harry Wong
Unique Publications, 1990
Is this the only exercise book you need? Answer: Yes.
Small book, massive results. Many people have written reviews about this book commenting on how "slim" it is on the amount of exercises it covers. The irony here is that this elegance is one of the book's strongest high points. What must be understood is that ...
Ninjutsu: History and Tradition
Masaaki Hatsumi
Unique Publications, 1981
a good read
This is a definite must for beginning ninjutsu students. I found it extremely informative, even though some of the pictures are a little hard to identify. it has really interesting insight and description for all aspects of ninjutsu, as well as some interesting ...
Yuen Kay-San Wing Chun Kuen
Rene Ritchie
Unique Publications, 1999
If you must choose one book => this one !!
Sorry for my english (I'm french). I'm practicing martial arts since about 15 years now (fist/foot boxing + tai chi) and discovered wing chun about 1 year ago. I read lot of books on wing chun (I think "most" of them) because I'm leaving in the countryside and can't ...
Wing Chun Bil Jee: The Deadly Art of Thrusting Fingers
William Cheung
Unique Publications, 1983
Good reference on the Bil Jee form of Wing Chun
I am primarily a Jun Fan / Jeet Kune Do practicioner, but am interested in learning more of Wing Chun so I have also been studying original Wing Chun, and William Cheung's books were recommended to me as references for the forms, and they are excellent for that ...
Deadly Karate Blows: The Medical Implications (Unique Literary Books of the World)
Brian C. Adams
Unique Publications, 2005
Authentic
The author went to great lengths to analyze the effects of common karate blows. This has implications for appreciating "soft" forms of self defense as compared with those forms most ameniable to full contact with protection gear. The book in effect documents the ...
Jerry Poteet's Jeet Kune Do Secrets
Jerry Poteet
Unique Publications, 2008
The real JKD
Just got this book today. Great book. I have been taking Jeet Kune Do for about 2 years now. This is exactly the kind of stuff we practice, the real JKD, as taught by Bruce Lee to Jerry Poteet and Dan Inosanto, and the early students. The book is not cluttered with ...
Gene LeBell's Grappling World, The Encyclopedia of Finishing Holds (2nd Expanded Edition)
Mario Roberts
,
Lynn Salvatori
Unique Publications, 2000
You will be tapping out just reading this masterpiece!
...and I thought MY book, "The Authoritative Encyclopedia of Scientific Wrestling" was huge! This book is MASSIVE and jam-packed with awesome ideas. Once you have the basics down (which realistically can take years to master) you are ready to get creative and learn ...
