This was my first foray into the world of publishing. I acquired a martial arts bug during my time as an English teacher, and ended up editing my kung fu instructor’s excellent book on the history of martial arts in Vietnam.
This book offers a comprehensive overview of Vietnamese martial arts styles, including analysis of the contextual history in which they eveloved and the socio-cultural factors which necessitated their develpment. This book is a must for anyone with an interest in martial arts, and offers rare insights into the martial traditions of an often overlooked nation, one with a long and rich history of fighting systems.
