Master the terrifyingly effective Phoenix Eye Fist style of Chinese Kung Fu with this illustrated martial arts guide. The Secrets of Phoenix-Eye Fist Kung-Fu depicts an enormously potent art, also known as Chuka Shaolin, that does not depend on strength or size. Instead, it utilizes a special striking technique, the phoenix-eye fist, aimed at vital points on the opponent's body. Phoenix-Eye Fist Kung-Fu excels at close-range fighting—an area neglected in many other martial arts—and employs a variety of lightning-fast strikes and kicks. Due to its deadly efficacy, there is no sparring in Chuka Shaolin, but instead complex two-person practice forms are employed—both for empty-handed fighting and for fighting with weapons—in which the practitioners fight all-out, and are protected only by a precise knowledge of the form. With hundreds of clear photographs, The Secrets of Phoenix-Eye Fist Kung-Fu reveals: The fundamental techniques of the empty-handed art A complete breakdown of the two-person empty-hand practice forms Detailed instruction in Chuka Shaolin pole fighting, including the practice forms An overview of the other weapons used in Chuka Shaolin, including the sai, the twin knives, the spear, and the farmer's hoe Special forms of Chi Kung designed to increase striking power, increase vitality, and aid in resisting and healing injuries

This is the training manual for levels 7-9 of Ghost Hand Kung Fu. Ghost Hand Kung Fu is a short-armed method, where the arms are kept close to the body. It gives one the ability to execute fast, multiple strikes with deadly accuracy to an opponent's vital points. The art stresses breath work and being able to separately use and control the internal opening and closing movements of each and every joint on the body. It allows one to fight and counter according to the opponent's pressure, rather than fighting from sight. Ghost Hand also incorporates joint locks, throws, and low kicks mostly from the waist down, attacking legs, knees, and feet. There is a lot of qigong work within Ghost Hand forms, making it a true internal/external martial art.
