Silk Road Kung Fu Friendship Tour: Vol. 2

By Gregory Brundage

The Silk Road Kung Fu Friendship Tour - Volume 2 - picks up where the first book left off meeting and often training with the masters of Wushu-Kung Fu, while exploring ancient histories and modern cultures of the world's preeminent trade routes of the Silk Roads. This volume starts in Pakistan in December 2017 and travels from north to south, Islamabad through Lahore and ending in Karachi. This was followed by visits to Gansu Province in China, Qatar in the Middle East, Addis Ababa and the Tigray region in Ethiopia, Vietnam, Japan, Indonesia, Shanghai, Ningbo, and Yuyao in China; then Thailand and finally Hong Kong in late November and early December 2019. The book concludes with the affirmation that Kung Fu is not just kicks and punches or martial arts but also the skills and disciplines required to live and perform well in a mutually beneficial and respectful way. This is also called "Tao," the foundation of "morality" in Chinese, "d od " (道德virtue / morality / ethics). And so, the (武林 wǔl n) martial arts (social) circles expand.
