Overview

A complete illustrated guide to this unique Chinese system of self defence which combines 'softness' with speed to great effect. As many will know, Chee Soo was not only a dedicated student of Taoist philosophy, an outstanding T'ai Chi master, and an expert in Chinese Medicine but he was also an unparallelled Kung Fu master. Here we have reprinted for the first time the classic detailed training manual of Feng Shou kung fu. Complete with copious illustrations and detailed explanations of the various core techniques and underlying principles of the softest and probably the most devastatingly effective Martial Art in the world - Feng Shou 'Hand of the Wind Kung Fu'. Feng Shou kung fu training is a practical and effective form of self defence training which is suitable for anyone either male or female and young or old alike. No harsh physically punishing training regimes are required as this style can develop you on three distinct levels: mental, physical and spiritual. Based on the dynamic internal power of Chi energy rather than brute physical force this Art can allow you to have the strength of ten men and overcome even the biggest and strongest of aggressors. This book is essential as a training manual for anyone who is studying Feng Shou kung fu but is also of interest to anyone who is studying any of the other aspects of the Taoist Arts of the Lee style. This edition has been reproduced from the original text with new photographs taken under the guidelines of Taoist masters trained under Chee Soo himself. Quality bound on high density bright white paper with a laminated cover for protection and recommended as a day to day reference and training manual for members of the Taoist Cultural Arts Association.

Author Information

Chee Soo first learned the Taoist Arts including T'ai Chi and Kung Fu as well as Chi Gung and other practises in the London of the 1930's from an elderly Chinese gentleman who was a trader in precious stones. In 1937 he volunteered and joined the British Army and fought in France, North Africa and Burmah where he was captured by the Japanese. He was tortured and almost starved to death when he escaped from a Prisoner of War camp with a Gurkah ally and made it through the jungle back behind allied lines. He brought kung fu and the Taoist Arts to westerners many years before Bruce Lee and David Carradine were ever heard of and taught his style to the actors and stunt men for the famous 1960's TV show 'The Avengers' wityh Diana Rigg and Patrick MacNee. He went on to build the largest Chinese Taoist Arts school outside of China at the time. With sixty years of training as a Taoist Master under his belt Chee Soo excelled as not only an outstanding kung fu and T'ai Chi master but also an expert on healing and Chinese Medicine with a deep understanding of Taoist philosophy. Chee Soo died in 1994.
