Summary

"This is an authoritative work on Dragon Style Kung Fu (Lung Ying), a style widely known in Hong Kong and southern China, but rarely seen elsewhere. Dragon of Concrete Jungles weaves together the history of the style with the story of Sifu Yip Wing Hong who emigrated to the US and in 1974 opened, and continues to operate, the first school to openly teach the style int he U.S. Above all, this book is also a social history, tracing the arc of Manhattan's Chinatown from gangs to gentrification, in addition to telling a moving story of love, family and loss. With over 200 rare photos, Dragon of Concrete Jungles deserves a place on the bookshelf of anyone interested in martial arts, New York City, lessons on life and Chinese culture"-- Provided by publisher.
