This book was written to present the true facts of the ancient art. It provides introductions into the Kung-Fu philosophies which are informative to both beginners and to experienced practitioners. It does not, however, provide a secret formula to turn a beginning student into a master overnight. Only years of rigorous and dedicated training under a qualified teacher can produce a master.

The fifth chapter contains rare photographs of two men going through a sparring session under the Hung system of Kung-Fu. The reader will grasp a better knowledge of the training methods after studying this chapter.

Another highlight in this book is the section showing, for the first time, the fighting techniques patterned after the five animal forms of Siu Lum Kung Fu - The Tiger - Crane, The Dragon, The Leopard and The Snake.
