Taijiquan, xingyiquan, baguazhang and wushu book translations from the Chinese, available or soon to be available. The publishers' websites are in a box down the left side.
This is a list to help translators keep track of who has done or is doing what, to help us decide which book to start on next. I want to list books only, not excerpts from books in magazines, and translations only, not original writings. I cannot say anything about the quality of the translations or of the originals.
If you have translated a book on taijiquan, xingyiquan, baguazhang, or any wushu, or are working on one, please send in the particulars. If you want to see a book translated into English, send in the author and title.
