If you enjoyed Alan Gibson’s first book, you will love this one!
This is the exiting sequel to his very popular first tome ‘Why Wing Chun Works’ ("the most comprehensive book available on the subject currently available…"). In Simple Thinking: Intelligent Fighters Alan explains how individual techniques and positions evolve as a result of the underlying Wing Chun concepts, and the forces we are likely to meet in combat.
There is lots of beautiful and detailed photography, and the clearly explained text describes how the fighting applications relate to Wing Chun theory. This book will undoubtedly become an invaluable reference work, both for Wing Chun practitioners and to all other thinking martial artists.
Forewords by Dave Peterson and Clive Potter.
