Chinese martial arts have a long, meaningful history and deep
cultural roots. They blend the physical components of combat with
strategy, philosophy and tradition, distinguishing them from
Western sports. A History of Chinese Martial Arts is the most
authoritative study ever written on this topic, featuring
contributions from leading Chinese scholars and practitioners. The
book provides a comprehensive overview of all types of Chinese
martial arts, from the Pre-Qin Period (before 222 BC) right up to
the present day in the People's Republic of China, with each
chapter covering a different period in Chinese history. Including
numerous illustrations of artefacts, weaponry and historical
drawings and documents, this book offers unparalleled insight into
the origins, development and contemporary significance of martial
arts in China. This is a fascinating read for researchers and
students working in sports history, Chinese sport and Chinese
Studies.
