The Sword Polisher's Record is a collection of essays that clear up the common misconceptions about the art of kung-fu.

Highlighted with over 70 photographs anti drawings, The Sword Polisher's Record is organized into eight sections, each examining a different aspect of kung-fu, including its foundations, important concepts, and principles related to its styles and forms; usage, training, and discussions on the future of kung-fu; and, most importantly, its place in the martial arts.
