WU LIN MAGAZINE

In our opinion one of the best Kung Fu magazines in the world! Taiwan Wu Lin is beautifully illustrated and printed on slick paper with interesting articles aimed at the true martial conoisseur. It is published by Mr. Liu Kang-Yi, founder of Lion Books, and an avid collector of Chinese martial arts texts. This shows in the selection and attention to detail exhibited in WULIN. Top teachers, interviews, historical background, rare texts reprinted, good stuff! Page One
