Here is something quite special. Lionbooks has just published an exceptionally beautiful and important work, The New Silk Road of Martial Studies, presenting a unique exhibition of historical martial material, both East and West.
The book is sectioned chronologically, so the development of martial literature and theory can be seen side by side. Created by Liu Kang Yi (Taiwan), publisher of Lionbooks and internationally renowned for his personal martial library, and Hing Chao (Hong Kong), publisher and exhbition curator, known for his inventive presentation of martial culture.
This wonderful, museum-quality text is presented complete in two languages, Chinese and English. It covers texts going back to the 16th century, with full-color examples ranging from weapons manuals to pugilistic diagrams to qigong illustrations.
