Cease War and Martial Arts: Chinese Martial Arts in Hong Kong

Chinese martial arts have a rich history, often passed down orally, making it difficult to discern fact from fiction. From the Ming and Qing dynasties, martial arts sects migrated southward, settling in Hong Kong and establishing it as a stronghold. This book explores the challenges faced by martial arts schools after the war, debunking misconceptions about crime and the necessity of accepting challenges. It also highlights the symbiotic relationship between martial arts and Hong Kong society, as they mutually influence and integrate into the lives of ordinary citizens, evolving into a sport suitable for all ages that promotes physical and mental well-being.
