More about the book
Kung fu, China's martial arts legacy, stretches from the distant past of the Shaolin Temple to the new millennium. Within these pages you will discover the history and development of kung fu in China and its spread into the United States and around the world. Illustrated with over 100 rare and inspiring photographs, this book presents these dynamic fighting arts in terms of regional styles, offering an overview of nearly two dozen arts in all. The historical photographs alone make this book worthwhile, but when you factor in the encyclopedic nature of the text and its historical presentation, this is a book all Chinese martial arts practitioners must have.
