Push Your Way Through Reviews
How You Can Use the Ancient Principles of Kung Fu to Get What You Want
★★★★★ You won’t have to push your way through this
“This is very well written to the point that anybody could easily follow along and understand. Consistent in inspiring the people pleaser/passive person/ the unsure person to take a stand. Has a no nonsense approach to taking general control of your life. This is a very fast read. I mean it, you won’t have to push your way through this book. It flows so well that before you know it, it’s to the end. This isn’t just a one time reader either. This is a great book to check in with periodically with yourself. I’m a life coach and I love the work I get to do with people all over this world. And you better believe that not only will I be using this in my own life, I will definitely be using this with clients…. reading groups, individuals… giving reading homework… this book also gives great jumping points for journaling. She is definitely a leader on multiple levels, giving you the keys to your own freedom and leadership for your life. Stop thinking about buying this book… trust me… just buy it and invest in yourself. It’s worth it.”
★★★★★ Life-Changing
“The Sifu at my Kung Fu school recommended this book. Interestingly, it's not about Kung Fu Techniques per se. Instead, it's about the application of Kung Fu principles to everyday situations. I found the book very readable and remarkably relevant to many parts of my life. I started applying the grocery store techniques and they worked right away. After a using them a few times, I started to see the bigger picture....that the author, Kung Fu Kendra (Kendra Mahon), was actually training me to be more assertive and to get what I want in ALL areas of my life. Everything improved for me once I grasped this concept. Onward and Upward!”
★★★★★ Kung Fu Kendra does an AWESOME job giving you the methods to RETHINK and TRANSFORM your Life!

Great Book!!.. I'd recommend it to anyone who feels stuck or stagnant in their journey to success. ~Shenn Thomas Wing Chun Heretic.”
★★★★★ Fantastic book on self-awareness and being assertive
“I was drawn to this by the king fu element but Kendra shares some powerful, common sense, practical words that have helped me be more assertive. I always thought being assertive meant being arrogant, how wrong I was! Buy the book!”
★★★★★ Push your way Through
“Interesting concepts that I am looking forward to applying to my life. Thank you for a breath of fresh air on living in today's world. Kenneth Royden.”

The Philosophy of Wing Chun Reviews
Simplicity, Balance, and the Straight Path
★★★★★ Bravo for an important work
“An easy 5 stars for a particularly thoughtful and well-written overview of Wing Chun. Although I'm a practitioner in another school, I deeply appreciate Sifu Kendra's measured, experienced comments. In this single book, she discusses the philosophy of this ancient martial art. One rarely hears any of this from a day-to-day teacher. Here, she reflects on the Daoist/Buddhist roots of WC. I was particularly impressed with the quality of her writing. Like WC itself, the writing is forward-moving and direct. I highly recommend this book; it clearly reflects decades of practice.”
