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.

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.
