Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

This is perhaps the worst book on the martial art of Wing Chun I have ever had the misfortune of reading. The author is arrogant and misinformed, the techniques are poorly described and shown. The final few chapters are related to "Dr" Joseph Wayne Smiths "perfect" new fighting system that is a combination of 3 different styles, in which he rants on in a very academic manner about all sorts of nonsense that is a complete waste of time. This book is absolute rubbish that no serious wing chun practitioner should ever buy, borrow or even steal. Shame on you tuttle publishing for stroking this nutjobs ego. Every time I see this book it makes me very angry. Horrible book, less than 1 star. Don't even use it to wipe your arse.
