Hong Style Yan Qing (Lost Track) Boxing -
SC241
Edited by SuLing,
$18.95 Simplified Chinese Characters;
60 pages, sienna print photos, DVD enclosed, English/Chinese
As many people know, Yan Qing is another name for Lost Track (Mi Zong) style. This set, with English and Chinese instruction, shows not only the set but the basics and hand positions of Hong Quan. This is an intermediate length set with 40 postures. This particular Lost Track is in the style of Hong Boxing, a strong Northern Style often thought of as almost synonymous with Shaolin. DVD enclosed showing a demonstration by Dang JiangZhang. This is a wide open and graceful set with Pigua and Chuo Jiao type movements. This version, keeping faithful to Hong, has very open arm movements and light footwork. This set requires not only limber legs but loose shoulder joints as well.

Eagle Claw Chin Na -
SC228
by Zhang Xing Yi
$18.50 Simplified Chinese Characters;
307
pages, Soft bound, photographs.
This book is an introduction to one of the most famous skills of the Eagle Claw system, namely their Chin Na or joint locking practice. Zhang studied under Yao Jian Hua (姚健华 ). His Chin Nah variations are clear enough that if you are familiar with the basics you can figure them out from the illustrations. One unusual feature of the book is that it gives Chin Nah against classical weapons such as the saber, sword and spear and, finally, the gun. Our major complain is that though the photographs are good the printing is a bit light, a common problem with mainland editions.
See this book in traditional characters.

Wan Lai Sheng's Six Harmony Boxing -
SC149
by Han Guang Jiu (Hon Gwong Gau)
$28.95 Simplified Chinese Characters;
523
pages, Soft bound, hundreds of photographs
Wan was a dedicated teacher attempting to take the classical and breath fire back into it. He always showed applications and encouraged a "hands-on" approach. His style is influential especially in certain areas such as Malaysia and France. Liu He, though not a famous style outside China, is a well respected and rationally constructed style that, particularly during the Qing dynasty, became a major recognized branch of Wushu. Wan was one of its greatest promoters seeing LHQ as a direct inheritor of the Shaolin lineage.

Green Dragon Boxing -
SC147
Edited by SuLing,
$16.95 Simplified Chinese Characters;
60 pages, sienna print photos, DVD enclosed, English/Chinese
According to records the Green Dragon was developed around the same time as PiGua Zhang style. In fact some people believe it is a part of the Pigua curriculum. This classic routine mimics a violent dragon coming out of the water and is said to attack upwards from the lower part of the body. This book shows not only the form, but basics and hand forms all in ENGLISH as well as Chinese. It has a sienna colored series of photos and comes with a demonstration DVD. The entire form runs 37 postures. Narration also in English.
Note: We have been successful in playing these VCDs using a few different programs—such as VLC and Quicktime—but no one specific app. They also have worked on our stand-alone DVD player.
