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.;Frontcover; Title Page; Copyright; Dedication; Contents; PREFACE; INTRODUCTION; PART ONE: CHUKA 5HAOLlN lN PERSPECTlVE; CHAPTER 1: HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE; A Nun and Two Sisters; Ooh Ping Kwang; Lee Siong Pheow; Cheong Cheng Leong; Chuka Shaolin Today; CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW OF CHUKA SHAOLIN; Progressions in Training; Applying the Art; Principle 1: No Unrealistic Techniques; Principle 2: Always Hit First; Principle 3: Fight at Close Range; Principle 4: Move to the Blind Side; PART TWO: THE EMPTY- HAND ART; CHAPTER 3: FUNDAMENTAL TECHNIQUES; Stances and Postures; Horse-Riding Stance.
