| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Chinese martial arts are a number of fighting styles that have developed over the centuries in China. These fighting styles include qi manipulation, improving muscle and cardiovascular fitness, physical exercises involving animal mimicry, and training methods inspired by Chinese philosophies, religions, and legends. The book presents an extensive study of numerous Chinese martial arts based on geographical classification such as northern styles and southern styles.
