This book really peaked my interest. But, it did not answer all of my questions. I think that I have been spoiled by some more modern books and their extensive photography. I've never seen a 'wrestling' form in my entire life, and I am terribly interested in seeing it in more detail. Is there any source for video or other media, or are you planning a complimentary text/video of some kind in the future? I would like to learn some of the form, and some of the drills. I found the basket stuff immediately applicable, and I think that it is a great drill. I feel like I don't really know what's going on in the others. The book is like a teaser.

Jason,

There are videos on SJ forms. I know that Daniel Weng and David Lin have tapes available, and their are films from China on SJ as well. I haven't seen most of the films, so I can't recommend any in particular.

Very nice, classic Chinese throwing methods.
