Chinese Boxing: Masters and Methods

Chinese Boxing: Masters and Methods

Distilling the martial art known in the West as kung fu, Robert Smith presents Chinese boxing (châ€™uan shu) as an art â€œthat combines the hardness of a wall and the softness of a butterflyâ€™s wings.â€ His lively, pragmatic account conveys the discipline and insights acquired in ten years of study and travel in Asia. Smith describes his work with tâ€™ai chi master Cheng Man-châ€™ing, and connects châ€™uan shu with the softer aspects and inner power of that popular practice. Fifty black and white photos illustrate this informative and personal account of the Chinese boxing tradition.
