The orange book from Sifu Leung Shum is now out of print but some stores may still carry it. His new more indepth book being published by Tuttle will hopefully be out shortly. Check out his web site (www.yingjowpai.com). HIs tapes will give you alot.
Chin Woo curriculum used to require 10 sets to be learned before specializing in a particular style.
hand forms: Tam Tui, Gung Lek, Dai Gin, Jeet Kuen,
Sifu Shum only uses the Gung Lek and Jeet Kuen before teaching Eagle Claw Sets as they teach good foundation.
The book you mention from Sifu Gao/Gou in Beijing is a very good theory book. Lots of information on the tactics and theories of the style. My translated copy is kind of shakey but its useful. Also pick up the books from Lau Fat Mang’s lineage. Good info in there as well. Also a Sifu Wing Kit Lam has been putting out eagle claw books in english. I think his web site is www.kungfumaster.hk.com. You can order them from there.
good luck in your training
