This site: Fighting Arts Asia - is mainly a directory, with some news and a calandar. But, I try to provide at least some introduction to the arts taught at the schools in the different cities, provinces, and Asian countries and links to sites that explain the arts in greater detail. China alone with it's huge area and vast history is too much for one person to fully learn. I'll be happy if I can provide a good directory and at least some idea of the fighting arts involved.
