About the Book

Breve Historia del kung-fu presenta el desarrollo de la pràctica de las artes marciales durante los diferentes periodos de la historia de China, desde la prehistoria hasta la actualidad. Se describen, por lo mismo, historias (como las leyendas del Monasterio de Shaolin) y descubrimientos arqueolÃ3gicos que muestran la evoluciÃ3n del kung-fu en tiempos remotos. Asimismo, se presentan las habilidades militares de los ejÃ(c)rcitos chinos, los exàmenes militares imperiales, la Academia Central de Guoshu, las unidades de cuchillos largos, etc. TambiÃ(c)n se comentan las diferencias entre el kung-fu practicado por el ejÃ(c)rcito y el practicado por la poblaciÃ3n civil. Finalmente, se explica, ademàs, la evoluciÃ3n del kung-fu en el siglo XX, su repercusiÃ3n en Occidente y las influencias que la televisiÃ3n y el cine (con exponentes como David Carradine, Bruce Lee, ]) han tenido en su concepciÃ3n por parte del pðblico en general.
