Title: Misleading and disappointing!
Review: The title of this book is misleading to say the least! Regarding the history, well traditional chinese martial arts history is confusing and this is just adding to that confusion. The book lists no biography or sources for that matter. I would not recommend this book to anyone, you are simply wasting your money. It glosses over basics, for example in Xing Yi Quan the author does not even mention, let alone explain the basic stance.The applications and photos are laughable. This book is geared and catered to westerners who know nothing and have no real understanding of real traditional chinese martial arts. I cannot agree with the other reviewers. I live in Beijing and have been studying Baguazhang, this book is not worth the paper it is printed on. If you want to know about real traditional chinese martial arts then you really do have to come to China!
