About
“This is the history of the Martial Arts - and our own ever-evolving mash-up culture as you've never seen it before!” Wild.C Imagine travelling back in time to meet the greatest fighters and writers in history. Then, bringing them back to the present day so they could cast a critical eye over how we were doing and tell us, in their own words, One Last Thing. * Kwai Chang Caine talks about the importance of Flutes, Floppy Hats and Fighting on the TV set of KungFu * The cast of Enter the Dragon discuss on radio what it was like to work with Bruce Lee * Alan Watts nips back in the TARDIS to lecture the Shaolin Priests on how to update their training methods * Lao Tzu - the productivity guru and father of Taoism - explains the Origins of Everything and Nothing * Rocky Balboa and Marshall McCluhan discuss what it means to win and lose * Chuck Norris and Guru Krishnamurti discuss freedom, liberty and chest hair over a pizza * Carl Jung analyses Bruce Lee and his obsession with his Nunchaku Fact, fiction, comedy, drama and fantasy all blend together in this new book on history where boundaries between people, places and times dissolve and reunite in the most unexpected of ways. The History of the Martial Arts, the role of Culture and Tradition and the relationship of East to West are all blown wide open in this philosophical comedy, from the author of The Manual of Bean Curd Boxing.
