Hello! I am looking for a historic book by the famous Cai Long Yun (), the book title is or Fundamentals of Wushu Training. I am specifically looking for the older editions circa 1958-1962. I like to collect the older editions of famous kung fu books. If anybody could assist me in finding a copy I would really appreciate it. I dont speak/read Chinese really so I cannot buy it myself off of a Chinese website.
Any help would be appreciated. 🙂
Thanks!

I don’t have that book
Especially not an older edition. But here’s our cover story on GM Cai from our[2005 November/December](http://www.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=624) issue: [The Big Dragon with the Magic Fists: China’s Great Grandmaster Cai Longyun](http://www.kungfumagazine.com/magazine/article.php?article=625).
I hope you find that book. I respect book collectors, especially nowadays.

Gene, thanks! I appreciate the complement. If I could only read Chinese, things would be much easier. 😉

Greetings,
Is that the one that feature Tan Tui, Duan Da and Kung Li Chuan along with basic exercises?
That one may be a tall order to get in an first edition. The paper that was used in a lot of the older martial arts books left a lot to be desired. I am talking about cheap pulp paper that hardened and chipped over time. I wish you lots of luck in finding a book in good shape.

I think I found the book for sale at a store called [www.kongfz.com](http://www.kongfz.com) They have mostly newer editions of the book but a few from 1958, etc! I am not sure if the site is a auction style or just to buy though.
As far as the contents, I know it does contain alot of basic exercises but I am not sure about what forms it shows.
