Secret training manuals, magic swords, and flying kung fu masters - these are staples of Chinese martial arts movies and novels, but only secret manuals have a basis in reality. Chinese martial arts masters of the past did indeed write such works, along with manuals for the general public. This collection introduces Western readers to the rich and diverse tradition of these influential texts, rarely available to the English-speaking reader. Authors Brian Kennedy and Elizabeth Guo, who coauthor a regular column for Classical Fighting Arts magazine, showcase illustrated manuals from the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, and the Republican period. Aimed at fans, students, and practitioners, the book explains the principles, techniques, and forms of each system while also placing them in the wider cultural context of Chinese martial arts. Individual chapters cover the history of the manuals, Taiwanese martial arts, the lives and livelihoods of the masters, the Imperial military exams, the significance of the Shaolin Temple, and more. Featuring a wealth of rare photographs of great masters as well as original drawings depicting the intended forms of each discipline, this book offers a multifaceted portrait of Chinese martial arts and their place in Chinese culture.

Críticas:
"This book provides considerable information on Chinese martial arts history, particularly of the Republican era, its personages, and manuals not previously available in English. It also covers topics, including those related to Shaolin Monastery and Taoism, in a down to earth, common sense manner.... Overall, Chinese Martial Arts Training Manuals successfully achieves the author's purpose, expressed in the epilogue: '[To serve] as an informative and interesting introduction to this rich facet of Chinese martial art culture.'"--Stanley E. Henning, China Review International

Descripción Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Secret training manuals, magic swords, and kung fu masters flying through the air: these are the stock motifs of Chinese martial arts movies and novels. Secret manuals, unlike the many other movie motifs, actually do have a basis in reality.

An invaluable source of information about China's martial arts past, this collection of training manuals introduces the West to many of these previously unpublished photographs of great masters and original drawings depicting the intended forms of Chinese martial arts. The lavishly illustrated book covers Chinese martial arts training manuals from over thirty historical masters.The text teaches the principles, techniques, and forms of a martial arts system and also places these training manuals in the wider cultural context of Chinese martial arts, with chapters on such topics as the history of the manuals, Chinese martial arts historians, the history of Taiwanese martial arts, the livelihoods of Chinese martial artists, the Imperial military exams, the place of the Shaolin Temple in Chinese martial arts history, and Chinese martial arts systems classifications. An outstanding history of Chinese martial arts training manuals and the general social context of Chinese martial arts, the book offers something for both the general reader unfamiliar with Chinese martial arts and the seasoned student of martial arts looking for historical information on the famous masters.
