- EPISODE NOTES

I’m very excited to finally speak to Chinese history professor, Dr. Peter Lorge. Dr. Lorge wrote what I consider to be the best book about Chinese martial arts called Chinese Martial Arts: From Antiquity to the Twenty First Century. Here we discuss the problems with labels like internal and external and the general issues regarding historicity in Chinese martial arts. I had such a great time, I hope you learn something!

Enjoy the episode.
