http://shaolin.lt/ Wushu and sport international conference in Estonia / Prof. Kang Gewu 康戈武 Martial Arts Historian Kang Ge-Wu has done more research on the origins of BaGua than anyone who has ever lived. While preparing his papers in Chinese History for his Master's Degree, he completed the following investigations: Examined over 650 documents from Ching Palace history books Read over 250 papers relating to Martial Arts Researched the background of over 410 instructors in 24 provinces Personally went to 16 cities in 9 provinces Interview over 250 people creating 270 plus documents Personally investigated claims of Dong Haichuan's connection to Emei and Jiu Hua (9 Flower) mountains. His own love affair with Chinese martial arts, especially BaGua, started early. When he was 16 he began studies with the famous instructor Sha Kuo-Cheng not only learning the movements but personally hand copying Sha's books on BaGua. His other work such as a Chinese Martial Arts dictionary with hundreds of styles and his Cha Fist history book, have actually won awards. He is the author of the Spring and Autumn of Chinese Martial Arts published by Plum, his first book in English. Professor Kang is a tremendous resource to the Chinese martial community. When one of our staff visited China last year he graciously hosted her meeting major teachers while tirelessly carrying on interviews himself. Professor Kang is now the #2 offical in China's largest WuShu organization. A staunch supporter of traditional martial arts, he had brought historical veracity and excellent research to his field. He is the first and foremost of an entirely new breed of martial researchers. 立陶宛少林武術館/立陶宛传统武术协会 "少林" Lietuvos tradicinio UŠU asociacija "Shaolin" Traditional Wushu Association of Lithuania "Shaolin" Литовская ассоциация традиционного ушу "Шаолинь" Wushu and sport international conference / Prof. Kang Gewu 康戈武
