Description

A History of Chinese Martial Arts is the most authoritative academic study of Chinese martial arts, drawing on contributions from leading scholars and practitioners at China's Research Institute of Martial Arts under the Ministry of Sport. This comprehensive reference traces the evolution of Chinese martial arts from the Pre-Qin Period (before 222 BC) through to contemporary practice in the People's Republic of China, examining how these disciplines uniquely blend physical combat techniques with philosophy, strategy and cultural tradition. Unlike Western sports, Chinese martial arts represent a sophisticated integration of body, mind and heritage. The book provides detailed coverage across multiple historical periods, making it an essential resource for students, researchers and practitioners seeking to understand the philosophical foundations, historical development and cultural significance of this ancient discipline.
