The Making of a Butterfly: Traditional Chinese Martial Arts As Taught by Master W. C. Chen (Paperback)
Lots of little Kung Fu lessons, supposedly learned from a teacher who seems right out of a Hollywood script (speaks perfect English, incredible martial artist, precognitive healing abilities, humorous and a brutal taskmaster).
I don't know if it's true or not, but I liked reading it.
The Kung Fu is internal (I know we have some neijia practioners here) and the book is broken into a separate lesson each chapter e.g., the importance of forms and weapons training, believing in oneself, how to set up throws, etc.
