| Abstract / Summary | October has seen the publication of "The History and Philosophy of Kung Fu: An Introduction", the first book by Danil Mikhailov, instructor of the Fujian White Crane kung fu club in Muswell Hill, North London. This book is the result of 15 years of research that Danil undertook first as part of his studies at the School of Oriental & African Studies, and then during his time as editor of the Wushu Scholar Magazine. The book tells the story of the origins of kung fu in Ancient China, in the 4th to 2nd centuries BC, when Daoist internal cultivation practices were first added to the indigenous Chinese system of fighting skills. It then traces kung fu's development through each successive dynasty all the way to the 20th century, and lastly considers the philosophical side of kung fu, looking at how it has been influenced by the three great religions of China: Daoism, Confucianism and Buddhism
