Chinese wrestling, known as Shuai Jiao or Swai Jiao, is China's oldest martial art. In the 20th C in China it became famous when Chang Dongsheng, perhaps the best Chinese wrestler of all time, won the national heavyweight Lei Tai championship. Grandmaster Chang taught at the Central Martial Arts Academy and then in 1949 relocated to Taiwan where he taught in the Central Police College. Master Jeng Hsing-Ping was a 1st generation student of Grandmaster Chang and he teaching assisstant since 1951. In 1971, Master Jeng relocated to New York City and established the Chinese Swai Jiao Association making him the first person to teach Chinese wrestling in the US. This book introduces the history and theory of Chinese wrestling and demonstrates the 84 families of throws and takedowns Master Jeng teaches. Shuai Jiao begins with strikes, follows with joint locks and finishes with throws. Each of the 84 families has many variations, many shown in this volume. This is the first time this information has been available in English and will be the most comprehensive study on Chinese wrestling ever published. Based upon Master Jeng's personal notes and teachings, organized by his successor James Chin and finally organized here by David A Ross, the 3rd generation lineage inheritor. The days of closed door secrets are gone, here we share with the world the entire Shuai Jiao, AKA Swai Jiao, as was taught by Master Jeng Hsing Ping. While some archival pictures are in this volume, the instructional pictures were taken recently in high definition by professionl photographer Vlad Klikfeld.
