Fearless Book and KFK Goodies Giveaway Kung Fu Kingdom 770x472 1
Are you a fan of the movies “Fist of Fury” starring Bruce Lee, Legend of a Fighter starring Leung Kar-yan, Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen starring Donnie Yen, or “Fist of Legend” and “Fearless” starring Jet Li? Well, they all have one thing in common; they were all inspired by the real-life Chinese hero Huo Yuanjia and the Chin Woo martial arts school that he helped to establish!
Kung Fu Kingdom’s very own Glen Stanway is the author of Fearless The Story of Chin Woo Kung Fu and a Chin Woo instructor and practitioner himself, with a direct lineage back to the original Shanghai school. His fascinating book examines the legends and the facts behind one of the world’s largest martial arts organisations and its founder, Huo Yuanjia, known as “Fearless”. With insights into how the Chin Woo (Jing Wu, or Jing Wu Men) Association revolutionised martial arts at the turn of the twentieth century, it also explores martial arts icon Bruce Lee’s connection to Chin Woo, discusses the fundamental kung fu forms and weapons of the Chin Woo style and highlights Chin Woo’s influence on popular martial arts movies and Hollywood blockbusters “The Matrix” and “Star Wars: The Phantom Menace”. Illustrated with over one hundred photos, the reader is taken on a fascinating journey from Qing dynasty China to the present day and beyond.
The book is available worldwide in paperback from Amazon and Lulu and also text-only on Kindle, but fans, you can win your very own paperback copy, signed personally to you by the author!
