Kung Fu and Science

ISBN: 9629372525
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 182

Book Description
Kung Fu has evolved from a traditional means of defence to become a system of attacking and defending oneself, with or without weapons, exercising the body and maintaining good physical and mental health. As such, these practices have found an international following. Yet what has remained a largely unexplored area is the scientific principles behind these martial arts. This book not only covers the brief history of Chinese martial arts, but also brings together the wisdom of a Kung Fu grand master with a scientist and teacher to explain the scientific reasons why Kung Fu is the powerful practice that it is. Using the principles of physics, biomechanics and biology, with a number of drawings showing some basic postures of Kung Fu, the authors present a deep understanding of how the styles, the specific movements and methods of attack and defence operate.

Learn the ancient self-defense system of Kempo with this illustrated martial arts guide. Kempo is one of the oldest, most dynamic martial arts. It is a derivative of Kung-Fu developed in southern China over a thousand years ago. This book proves that Kenpo, although an ancient military art, has direct application and relevance to our lives today. This kung fu book is designed to guide not only those seriously interested in learning kempo kung fu, but also to assist men, women, and children concerned about gaining better physical fitness, better over-all body tone and general well-being as well as a firm sense of self-confidence. Four Introductory Lessons, coupled with clear photographs, aid readers in executing with accuracy and safety all essential stances and techniques. After these have been mastered, the remaining lessons, accompanied by helpful exercises, can be practiced with ease. Rather than violence for its own sake, Kenpo offers defensive techniques for self-protection which can be mastered in about three months.
