This book unravels the mystery behind Chinese martial arts, or wushu, an exotic branch of traditional Chinese culture. It traces how the rough and ready brawls of Chinese cavemen matured into the polished gongfu of Shaolin and Wudang warriors. But the art of gongfu is more than just martial abilities - it is also about a philosophy and chivalry code. This volume sheds light on the legend of Bruce Lee, the Yue Maiden Sword and tells you more:

- Do the Acupoint Tapping, Light Skills (qinggong), and "straying down demonic paths" that we see in period drama really exist?
- What are the various boxing and weapon arts, and the various schools and styles?
- Are E'mei Sect, Huashan Sect, Kunlun Sect, Kongtong Sect and Natural Sect documented in Chinese history?

This is an easy and entertaining read, and a must-buy for budding martial-art fans. Be dazzled by the prowess and grace of Chinese martial arts, which stands tall in a class of its own!

Contents: Origins of Chinese Martial Arts, Shaolin and Wudang, The Story of Boxing Arts, The Story of Weapon Arts, The Story of Martial Ethics
