Sinopse
Características

Jixiao Xinshu is a comprehensive military warfare manual, written by MingDynasty General Qi Jiguang in 1560. It consisted of chapters on Spear fighting, Archery, terrain, troops formation etc...One of the chapters is Quanjing Jieyao, which contains 32 unarmed fighting stances for soldiers training.There has been multiple attempts by various people to translate this ancient Chinese Fist manual. The ones which Ive read are usually translating them literally.In order to make the translation & interpretation more meaningful, Ive seeked to discover the core principles behind each of these 32 unarmed fighting stances. In this book, youll see how these principles can be applied to any martial arts style, or any weapon. By training in these 32 martial principles, it will provide a complete & holistic training for a warrior, medieval or modern.I believe that my work in this book will help you in advancing your martial arts practice, no matter which fighting style youre from.
