Title: Excellent author, great information.
Review: Having studied judo, I was really attracted to this art and bought the book to learn. I find a lot of excellent information, very good photography but not very good explanations/layout. An accompanying DVD would be very helpful, in order to master the solo exercises (judo has limited katas, Chuai Shiao has excellent solo work) and throws. Described by some as ' bad judo', this system shows a unique way of shearing the opponents as opposed to only unbalancing as in judo. Unfortunately there are not enough qualified teachers of this system, a real shame as it is an ancient art but very applicable to self defense and combat. This book has excellent information which one can make one's own.
