Brian Kennedy (Editor), Elizabeth Guo (Editor) Chinese Editorial Review

**** "Chinese Martial Arts Training Manuals: A Historical Survey" delivers a compelling exploration of the evolution of Chinese martial arts literature, thoughtfully cataloging significant texts from the Ming Dynasty through to the mid-20th century. This book serves as a vital resource for enthusiasts and practitioners of Chinese martial arts, offering historical context and insights that challenge pre-existing myths about the discipline. Readers appreciate its detailed examination of how martial arts have evolved and interacted with both Eastern and Western influences, providing a fresh perspective not commonly found in English-language texts. However, while the effort to depart from traditional narratives is commendable, the book falls short of its academic aspirations. The absence of citations, bibliographies, and thorough editing detracts from its credibility as a scholarly piece. Additionally, the content's limited breadth—particularly its paltry representation of Southern Chinese systems—leaves readers wanting a more comprehensive examination of the subject matter. Despite these drawbacks, the book shines in its capacity to inspire further inquiry and research into martial arts literature, especially for those keen on delving deeper into specific texts and historical contexts. Overall, while it lacks rigorous academic footing and may feel cursory in certain areas, "Chinese Martial Arts Training Manuals" stands as a vital step toward a more nuanced understanding of Chinese martial arts history, serving as a gateway for readers to investigate further. **
