Randy's New Books

Randy's new books build upon his original set with an extra 20 years-worth of experience. Even if you have his original books, these are still an essential buy, providing new essays and updates/extensions to essays found in the original set.

		Volume 1: Blocking, Striking, Kicking & Footwork Fundamentals Covers history/overview of the system, basic Yin and Yang blocks, eight punches of wing chun, eight palm strikes, elbow attacks, complex blocks/strikes, eight kicks and kicking principles, five basic moving stances, combination stances, Yin/Yang theory, glossary of terms (Chinese/English), Fon Sau (trapping hands), two man dills, chee sau (sticky hands), rattan ring fundamentals and more.

		Volume 3: Mook Yan Joang (Wooden Dummy Form) Features a detailed introduction to the use of Wing Chun’s famous Mook Yan Joang, or “Wooden Man Dummy”.

The “108 Wooden Dummy Motions” form is shown in an easy-to-follow format, complete with footwork diagrams to help the reader understand the transitions between motions. Practical applications are shown for each movement, as are all concepts and principles introduced by the many blocking, striking and kicking motions executed against the Dummy. Also featured in this volume is the “Iron Palm” hand toughening and development regimen and plans to build the equipment needed for sandbag training.

Randy's First Book Set

Published in 1989, these books are a Wing Chun masterpiece! Unfortunately, they are now out of print so are very difficult to get hold of, especially in the UK. The good news is that they are soon to be republished (with some updates from the author). We do not have a release date yet, but will let you know as soon as we hear.

If you have the new book set, we would still advise you to get this series, as you will find some essays in there that you won't see in the new set. You also get full explanations (with photos) of each form, move by move (the new book set only shows movements from the Dummy Form).
