As someone who knows little about martial arts besides what I've seen on film, I found this book to be accessible and not overloaded with too much kung fu jargon. The book tells the story of Duncan Leung, a Hong Kong boy who studied Wing Chun kung fu under famous master Yip Man in the 1950s, and then left Hong Kong to establish his own school in the US. Along the way, we hear about his friendship with Bruce Lee, his encounters with other martial arts masters, and various fights he has in the streets of Kowloon and in New York. The author ties each anecdote in with a Chinese proverb or teaching from ancient Chinese philosophers, and cartoon-style illustrations follow each fight story, making for an entertaining and educational read.
