Yeah! The Dictionaries have arrived and they are beautful. We have received the compact and the deluxe paperback editions; the hardcover is still to come.

Just a quick announcement: the revised edition of Andrea Falk’s Chinese-English Martial Arts Dictionary will be here soon! We have been anticipating this invaluable work for a long while. It is on its way (we expect it within the next two weeks).

“This Chinese-English Dictionary is massive, with countless words and phrases used by the internal and external martial arts of China to describe training, techniques, theory, forms, sparring, methods, wrestling and qinna. And words that always pop up when you are reading about martial arts, like TCM terms, anatomical terms, historical and literary names, dynasties – the list is endless. Most martial techniques and names cannot be found in a regular dictionary – and if the characters are there, they have a different meaning from that used in the martial arts. With three indices, ordered by the pinyin transliteration, radical index, and stroke order index, and a fair bit of cross referencing, you should be able to find what you need.”

Dictionary displays pinyin terms, Chinese characters and English definitions.
