REVIEWS

Excellent DVD on Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu,
October 9, 2009, By "JRR" (Irvine, CA)

It has been said that you can not learn Kung Fu from books. But with a good DVD and book, one can learn a lot!

Dr Yang has developed a good formula and format for training DVDs. And his son is carrying on the same formula and format. This makes for a very good instructional DVD. Both the forms and the applications of the moves are clearly shown and very well explained.

The Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu forms presented in this DVD are very energetic. They would do very well as an aerobics routine for for general health, in addition to learning Kung Fu.

If you are a fan of Dr Yang, Jwing-Ming then get ready for his son. His speech is easy to understand and movements are more refined for a modern world, this all American young Martial Artist has a lot to offer with this extensive video, solely designed for information, it is not very entertaining, meant for the martial artist who is ready to learn from a professors son. Get ready, this video is a Information smorgasbord on the semi advanced understand of Long Fist Kung Fu.

Balanced instruction, September 28, 2009

Nicholas C. Yang gives excellent, balanced instruction in Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu. He covers both the basic principles of rooting and centering and the martial applications of the form. I really like the way he shows the correct way of moving and also how not to do it. He clearly shows how leaning too far or sitting back too much will uproot your energy. He keeps it simple, not using more energy than necessary.

Although my own practice is Yang Style Taijichuan, I found a great deal of applicable information in this instruction. Snakes, Fan through and parry, kicks are all beautiful in these sets...

A great DVD set for all levels practicing many forms of martial arts. As Sifu Yang says, there are many songs, compose different music all the time.
