Description
Chinese Boxing Masters and Methods is a comprehensive account of the martial art known as kung fu, presented by Robert Smith as an art that combines the hardness of a wall and the softness of a butterfly's wings. Through ten years of study and travel in Asia, Smith conveys the discipline and insights gained from his work with a renowned t'ai chi master.
The book explores the connection between Chinese boxing (ch'uan shu) and the softer aspects and inner power of t'ai chi, providing a unique perspective on the traditional Chinese martial arts. With fifty black and white photos, this informative and personal account offers a detailed look at the Chinese boxing tradition.
