the rum soaked fist: internal martial arts forum

A lot of translations of works of Wang Xiangzhai and not only, which were so far provided to our Yiquan Academy students only will be available to general public since now.

First one - "The essence of combat science" http://yiquan.academy/downloads/essence001.pdf

"Central pivot of the way of fist" a.k.a. "Theory of dachengquan", regarded as the main mature work of Wang Xiangzhai (until two other quite big texts, written in late 1950s became revealed by his daughter and published by her disciples in 2002).

"The right path of Yiquan" - the first work of Wang Xiangzhai, written in 1920s.

There are some other translations of this texts available. What can be interesting in this one, is the preface written by Yao Zongxun in 1963, which can be of some help in understanding the history of development of Yiquan.
