If I had the capacity to do so, Brennan Translation
would be the kind of project I would like to do. Freely available, fresh translations of known and lesser-known martial arts manuals, in a very readable, abordable English that covers a large spectre of chinese martial arts.Paul Brennan says nothing about himself on the site, it is impossible to say if he is a practitioner, on which tradition or just a chinese language entusiast. Whatever his motivations, the site is a must for those interested in the topic.
