I don't normally pick up chinese cma books but I just read a interesting one that some might enjoy.
The reason I enjoyed it was because it had a autobiographical take in which the author did not portray these chinese masters with a doe-eyed they walk on water outlook, in short words I thought he viewed them realisticaly as human beings, no punches pulled, with all there faults, both martial, physical, personal and spiritual.
It made the cma artists in the book all that more interesting because it cut through a lot of the marketing bullcrap.
The title was Chinese Boxing:Masters and Methods
I can not remeber the author but the book was excellent.
It has a red cover with a gung fu boxer in a low horse stance shooting out a punch to the side, check it out, it has his personal training experiances with large number of cma masters.
