Secrets of Phoenix Eye Fist Kung Fu
Author: Cheong Cheng Leong
Publisher: Tuttle Publishing
ISBN: 1462917011
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Master the terrifyingly effective Phoenix Eye Fist style of Chinese Kung Fu with this illustrated martial arts guide. The Secrets of Phoenix-Eye Fist Kung-Fu depicts an enormously potent art, also known as Chuka Shaolin, that does not depend on strength or size. Instead, it utilizes a special striking technique, the phoenix-eye fist, aimed at vital points on the opponent's body. Phoenix-Eye Fist Kung-Fu excels at close-range fighting—an area neglected in many other martial arts—and employs a variety of lightning-fast strikes and kicks. Due to its deadly efficacy, there is no sparring in Chuka Shaolin, but instead complex two-person practice forms are employed—both for empty-handed fighting and for fighting with weapons—in which the practitioners fight all-out, and are protected only by a precise knowledge of the form. With hundreds of clear photographs, The Secrets of Phoenix-Eye Fist Kung-Fu reveals: The fundamental techniques of the empty-handed art A complete breakdown of the two-person empty-hand practice forms Detailed instruction in Chuka Shaolin pole fighting, including the practice forms An overview of the other weapons used in Chuka Shaolin, including the sai, the twin knives, the spear, and the farmer's hoe Special forms of Chi Kung designed to increase striking power, increase vitality, and aid in resisting and healing injuries

In a forgotten abbey in the American West, a great evil has remained trapped, hidden from human eyes for hundreds of years...until now. A team of Vatican researchers have discovered the Domas Porada, a sarcophagus that holds the spirit of the fallen angel Temozarela. With the help of frontier priest Ivan Isaacs, they have opened it. Big mistake. Freed from centuries of captivity, Temozarela can at long last begin his desecration of God’s Earth, but in his weakened state he needs the help of his unholy apostles. In order to fight back, the dying Ivan must make a pact with the devil Belial for a second chance at life. Ivan only wanted proof of God’s existence—what he got instead was eternal damnation.
