Over eight hundred years ago, Mr. Li Dongfeng, the first grandmaster of Liuhebafa, wrote the Five Character Secrets. Within that manuscript are the original precepts of this rare internal martial art. In this book, you will find an overview of the history of Liuhebafa, following the trail of Master Li and his disciples. Comparisons to other martial arts are also examined.
