The Sword Polisher's Record Zusammenfassung

The Sword Polisher's Record: The Way of Kung-Fu Adam Hsu

The Sword Polisher's Record, originally a monthly column that appeared for more than a decade in three magazines, including Kungfu magazine and Black Belt magazine, brought a sense of authenticity to the kung fu, which had long been overly-commercialized and filled with misconceptions.

Highlighted with over 60 illustrations, The Sword Polisher's Record: The Way of Kung-Fu, is an anthology of the monthly column, is organized into eight inter-connected sections, each examining a different aspect of kung-fu including its foundations, theories, important concepts and principles related to kung-fu styles and forms, usage, and training, and discussions on the future of kung-fu and it's place in our lives.

The Sword Polisher's Record Bewertungen

"This is a book that should be on every martial artist's shelf, taken down often for reference. It is a book that should be discussed: with colleagues, with instructors, with fellow students. It is a book to be read more than once."- Plum Publications
"Very well written book of stories and philosophies."- BestJudo.com
"I think that Adam Hsu makes some convincing arguments. He has solid points and clearly states his ideas, not only with examples from his past but also with analogies that a westerner could understand. Some of the things that he said seemed to be a little one sided, however others made perfect sense. I would recommend this book for any one who is interested in learning about a famous Chinese martial art."- Robert Agnew, DCTaekwondo
"I find that this book is greatly helpful when in the hands of a novice martial artist seeking Kung-fu instruction."- A Ronin's Review
