Overview

This treatise was written in China during the 1930s. A product of generations of bodyguard and mercenary fighting academies, this book recorded the training phrases and poems that guided the students of these fighting schools. The martial art of Xingyi was famous for its clear-minded but unstoppable practitioners, many of whom graduated to become leading caravan guards or enter into the private security business of pre-war China, where police services were virtually non-existent.
