Adam Hsu published a new book "Ten Ways Kickboxing" (Lianjing Publishing) yesterday, hoping to borrow pictures and texts.

The teacher who teaches martial arts in the Cloud Gate dance classroom is a small farmer. Together, we are covered with mud on our legs and dirty hands. No matter it is sunny or rainy, we are like farmers facing the earth with their backs upside down. I hope I can cultivate something.' ... Adam Hsu, who has a master's degree in Chinese literature at the National Normal University, started to learn Tán Tuǐ from his father in high school. He said that the Tán Tuǐ from the northern school of martial arts is the foundation of Chinese martial arts. "It's like learning English before you learn grammar. Once you learn it, you can use it endlessly."

The article notes: "這些武館大都是名師執教授藝,如止戈武塾的徐紀師傅,不但精通八極披掛,還對陳式太極、八卦、形意、螳鄉等拳術深有研究,他是八極拳名師劉雲樵的入室弟子,練拳已有二三十年,教拳也有廿多年了,他的徒弟已遍布全美,其中不少人也已開館授徒。"
From Google Translate: "Most of these martial arts are taught by famous teachers, such as the master Adam Hsu of Zhige Wushu. Not only is he proficient in Bajiquan, he also has deep research on Chen style Taiji, Bagua, Xingyi, Tanglang and other martial arts. He is Bajiquan. The disciple of the famous teacher Liu Yunqiao has been practicing boxing for 20 to 30 years, and has been teaching boxing for more than 20 years. His apprentices have spread all over the United States, and many of them have also opened schools to teach apprentices."
