Item description from seller

Kung Fu is one of the earliest Chinese martial arts, based on techniques and philosophies that are thousands of years old. It is the precursor of Ju-Jitsu, Judo, Aikido and various forms of Karate, and while developments over the centuries have occurred, the basic essentials of the art have remained constant. However, in its modern form, Kung Fu has recently attracted millions of adherents throughout the western world. In this book, A. P. Harrington, an eminent instructor and expert practitioner, sets out to teach the beginner the fundamental techniques and training routines of this complex discipline. Kung Fu is not approached as an aggressive or competitive sport, but as the art and discipline of defensive manoeuvres requiring both mental and physical application. Each technique is closely analysed, and with simple descriptive line drawings, the author provides the enthusiast with an absolutely sound basis for the appreciation of the art. ------------------ 164 pages with diagrams Size: Approx 5½" Wide - 8½" Tall.…
