Kung Fu - China's legacy of martial arts stretches from the distant past of the Shaolin Temple to the strife-torn decades of the 20th century. It is a legacy filled with tales of great masters who, in their search for inner truth, were confronted with tyrannical Emperors, civil wars, and marauding bandits. It is a tale of conflict, violence, and , triumphing over all, the Kung Fu Masters' attainment of the very acme of physical skill, mental discipline, and awesome internal power. Now, for the very first time in the West, comes a work that surveys the Masters' labors - a comparative study of the authentic styles of Chinese martial arts featuring the finest master practitioners of this century. It is a book that will take you from the outer limits of external power training to the inner realm of the master's mind. 7 X 10, 130 pages.
