The Ferocious Enchanted Staff by the Ancient Monks by Leung Ting (1997-01-01) (Chinese Edition) Paperback – January 1, 1997

If you have experience in Martial arts then you should be able to easily learn the form from this book. Its easy to understand and read. Clear pictures and directions on how and where to move. Highly recommended. Its sad that there are not many books like this.

I really like the book because it kinda shows you some of the basics of shaolin staff. For the reader of this review, I'll tell you what you could expect from this book:-texts are in English-there are illustrations (drawings)-there are instructionsthese are basically what the majority may ask. As to how easy it is to follow, it may depend on your skill on following instructions. From my experience, I've had some basic staff training and even I got confused on how to follow the instructions from the book.I think this is a really neat book to have for your personal library, but if you want to learn staff for self-defense, it may be better to sign up for a class.
