The Rise of Boxing in China Part I: The Evolution
“China has a centuries-old boxing history, yet it was rather different from boxing today.
The history of China's boxing dates back 3,700 years, when China was in the Late Shang Dynasty, and the sport was one of the subjects for military training conducted by aristocrats.
