The Sword Polisher's Record, originally a monthly column that appeared for fifteen years in three different magazines, became a way of polishing the kung fu sword, cleaning up the misconceptions that are causing it to become dull and rusty. This book is an anthology of the monthly column, organized into eight interconnected sections, each examing a different aspect of kung-fu styles and forms, useage, and training, with discussions on the future of kung-fu and its place in our lives. 204 pages
