Wing Chun Songs

Since being introduced to America by Bruce Lee, Wing Chun has become the most famous Kung Fu system in the world. For the students of Sifu Lao‘s Los Angeles school, it will provide a path for achieving their goals. Justin, a former child star, longs to establish himself as an action hero. Rico dreams of being his own man with his own school. Bud desires to prove himself among the best, and Roni seeks to free herself and her mother from the abuse of a vicious drunk. Guided by the kuit, the songs of Wing Chun-sayings that convey the concepts and principles of the system-they will forge their will through beimo, an illegal challenge match held on neutral turf, be it a parking garage, a rooftop, or a city park. In Wing Chun Songs-an elegant, fast-paced debut novel-Sifu Lao teaches his students courage, forgiveness, and self-worth through training and a brutal test of skills and character. "Fighting is a gamble. Maybe you win, maybe you lose," he tells them. "This is life. This is Wing Chun."
