Features: Wang Ziping (1881–1973) was a renowned martial artist in China and served as the former Vice President of the China Wushu Association. He began learning martial arts at the age of six and mastered various styles of boxing. In terms of weapons, he had profound expertise in broadswords, spears, swords, staves, as well as in grappling, striking, wrestling, soft skills, hard skills, and lightness techniques. He was hailed by the martial arts community as a versatile martial artist. At the same time, he was also a famous orthopedic expert. In medicine, he combined grappling techniques and bone-setting methods, forming a major Northern martial arts orthopedic school known as the Wang Family Orthopedics. After acquiring a solid foundation in martial arts, he practiced weapon forms. This book selects three weapon routines by Wang Ziping. Typically, one starts with the "Four Gates Broadsword," a famous traditional routine in the Chaquan style, and then practices the "Green Dragon Sword," which was Wang Ziping's masterpiece refined through countless efforts. Of course, one can also start with the sword before practicing the broadsword. Next, one practices the "One-Step Sticky Fist" and "Four-Grasping Hands" of the Chaquan style. At the end of the book, there are two commemorative essays on Wang Ziping, written by his wife, Wang Juru, and Zhao Shuangjin, the former Secretary-General of the China Wushu Association. The essays are deeply heartfelt and moving.
