Master Cháng, known as the scholar-boxer, lived and practiced in Hénán province, at the center of Chinese culture and martial arts near the Sholín Temple and legendary Luyáng. His extensive writings reflect many of the ideas, even the phraseology, now familiar from classic Tai Chi Chuan texts. Chinese-language authority Marnix Wells traveled to Chángs village, where the masters family carries on his tradition of Cháng boxing. This resulting study of Changs life and teachings reveals the true origins of todays internal martial arts.
