Martial arts transport us to the realms of legends. Every single
day, in sweat-soaked training halls across the globe, stories of
heroic warriors from the past are told. Tales of men and women that
could overpower wild beasts with their bare hands, walk through a
barrage of swords or bullets unharmed or defeat scores of attackers
while barely breaking a sweat. But from where does our fascination
with these tales stem? Why are they so widely told? Why are there
near-universal aspects that appear throughout? This book intends to
answer these questions and more. Telling us the tales of ten of the
greatest martial arts legends of all time, looking at the facts
behind these stories and discussing the functions that they play
within the study of martial arts.
