Sinopsis:
The Sword Polisher's Record, originally a monthly column that appeared for more than a decade in three magazines, including Kungfu magazine and Black Belt magazine, brought a sense of authenticity to the kung fu, which had long been overly-commercialized and filled with misconceptions.
Highlighted with over 60 illustrations, The Sword Polisher's Record: The Way of Kung-Fu, is an anthology of the monthly column, is organized into eight inter-connected sections, each examining a different aspect of kung-fu including its foundations, theories, important concepts and principles related to kung-fu styles and forms, usage, and training, and discussions on the future of kung-fu and it's place in our lives.
Acerca del autor: Adam Hsu spent twenty-five years living in Taiwan where he studied several northern kung-fu styles under the most respected kung-fu masters, including Sifu Han Ching Tan and the late Grandmaster Liu Yun Chiao. When he moved to the United States in 1978, he taught traditional kung-fu throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1990 he founded the non-profit Traditional Wushu Association, dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and perfection of traditional kung-fu. He has been featured on the cover of over a dozen martial arts magazines throughout the world, and his monthly columns have appeared in Black Belt, MA Training, and Wu Shu Kung-Fu magazines.

Soft Cover. Condición: Fine. First Edition. Stated first edition. Lt. shelf wear. Pages fine. Illustrated. This collection of essays clears up the common misconceptions about the art of kung-fu. "Excellent collection from start to finish. Dead-on, Hsu politely skewers myths, delusions, phoney Kung Fu and detrimental practices. Few books on Kung Fu take the time to analyze what the student must BECOME in order to achieve Kung Fu. Few books focus on finding the right school, choosing the right style and developing the proper attitude and respect for the art. This should be required reading for any Kung Fu student. It teaches no forms, tells no fairy tales, it is for the modern, Western student in his/her quest for authenticity. Also, approaches the MUCH needed subject of Martial Arts vs. Fighting Ability." - G. Webster review 205 pages. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall. Book. Nº de ref. del artículo: 016655
