Master Alan Lamb was the first publicly known non-chinese who achieved the rank of instructor in Wing Chun Kung Fu (under Koo Sang). He wrote tho books, both share the same name and are about Wing Chun basics.
The first one (Explosive Combat Volume 1) has 107 pages and the following contents:
Introduction …….13
The Legend of Wing Chun ……..15
Breathing ……….19
Basic Stance Work…….19
Basic Punching…….20
Basic Kicks……36
Basic Blocking…..42
The Four Gates…..48
Pak Sau………..62
Trapping………………84
Lap Sau……….93
The Concept of Flow…………97
Self-Defense Applications…………102
Conclusion……….109
As you can see from the number of pages allocated to a chapter, the author discusses pretty thoroughly the basic techniques (Wing Chun’s method of punching, the fundamental blocks) but touch neither the forms nor the Chi Sao.
The pictures are big, clear and self-explanatory (the text is kept to the minimum). The applications are short and down-to-earth (only five of them are shown).
A minus of the book (though not a very big one) is the history part, the author chose to perpetuate the legend of Ng Mui and the presumably burnt temple. We know today that was not the case but probably Alan Lamb was not aware of that at the moment of book’s inception.
In conclusion, the book would help a beginner and receives in my rating system ★★★
