LionBooks of Taiwan |
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
