The Creation of Wing Chun by Benjamin N. Judkins and Jon Nielson

[GeneChing]

Enter to win KungFuMagazine.com's contest for THE CREATION OF WING CHUN: A SOCIAL HISTORY OF THE SOUTHERN CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS Autographed by Benjamin N. Judkins and Jon Nielson!! Contest ends 6:00 p.m. PST on 8/27/15

This is a new academic work from SUNY Press. I highly recommend this to anyone who is seriously interested in the Chinese Martial Arts, especially traditional practitioners. Part I: Hand Combat, Identity, and Civil Society in Guangdong, 1800-1949 is a fascinating read for any Kung Fu person. It provides a inclusive timeline for Jingwu, Hung Mun, Hung Sing, Hakka, and the Central Guoshu Academy from a socioeconomic perspective that is insightful and thought provoking. This is one of the most exciting new contributions to the field.

SUNY Press. Scholarly books are always pricey because the print run is limited. What's more, these usually aren't distributed in regular bookstores (if you can even find one of those anymore). Academic works are usually only distributed through academic channels. All the more reason why this particular work is well worth your attention.

Good luck to all of you who are entering. Five of you will win a real treat with this one.

Having read excerpts of the book through Amazon, I must say that it definitely looks very interesting and like there was a lot of hard word and research put into it. I just may have to purchase the kindle version to save me a few bucks when I have $70+ to drop in a leisurely reading kung fu book.
