Scholar boxer - Marnix Wells

Master Chng, known as the "scholar-boxer," lived and practiced in Hnn province, at the center of Chinese culture and martial arts near the Sholn Temple and legendary Luyng. His extensive writings reflect many of the ideas, even the phraseology, now familiar from classic Tai Chi Chuan texts. Chinese-language authority Marnix Wells traveled to Chng's village, where the master's family carries on his tradition of Chng boxing. This resulting study of Chang's life and teachings reveals the true origins of today's internal martial arts.
