In the global world of the twenty-first century, martial arts are practiced for self-defense and sporting purposes only. However, for thousands of years, they were a central feature of military practice in China and essential for the smooth functioning of society. Individuals who were adept in using weapons were highly regarded, not simply as warriors but also as tacticians and performers. This book, which opens with an intriguing account of the very first female martial artist, charts the history of combat and fighting techniques in China from the Bronze Age to the present. This broad panorama affords fascinating glimpses into the transformation of martial skills, techniques, and weaponry against the background of Chinese history, the rise and fall of empires, their governments, and their armies. Quotations from literature and poetry, and the stories of individual warriors, infuse the narrative, offering personal reflections on prowess in the battlefield and techniques of engagement. This is an engaging and readable introduction to the authentic history of Chinese martial arts.Binding Type: Paperback

Great Re-release
Color: Stainless Steel/Black/Stainless Steel
So, let’s get my bias out of the way. This was a birth year re-release so I had attachment already.
The appearance is so timeless yet you get when it comes from. The case is beveled much like a diamond deconstructed. And the plating is to a mirror finish on top but is brushed on the sides. Really classy. The lens is nice and domed, yes it’s acrylic and will probably get beat up, and a protector is out the window because it’s raised but the dome is such a character in the vibe of this watch. The metal strap is unique both in design and thinness.
Now there are some negative reviews on this clasp. It can be finicky, but there is a right and wrong way. Really make sure the two hook tabs are firmly seated on the bar before closing. If the clasp is tappy after clicking it, it is most likely clicked above where it needs to be. Re-seat the hooks and make sure when it clicks in, if you tap the top there is zero rattle. I also suspect people are having issues not properly seating the adjust tab when changing length. You must make sure it is seating between links or it will open on ya…
Accuracy wise, and power bank wise it falls shorter than what I am used to. If I don’t wear it after a full day of use and some manual winds even, it only lasts a day - still testing, because I swap out to a Seiko and a Citizen.
Nice clicky one way bezel. Lume is pretty 70’s…
But this watch is stellar. Timeless yet retro, classy but casual Tee and Jeans worthy. Definite score.

Poor design and final product
Color: Stainless Steel/Black/Stainless Steel/Red Black
The watch looks nice. That is the only good part. It works by being wound by motion when one wears it. Should I do jumping jacks to keep it wound? I dont sleep with it on! Every morning it is not running and the date is wrong until it gets shaken. The band is hard to get it on and hard to get it to come off. It sometimes falls off though. I was trying to replace my older Timex watch and now I am back to wearing the old one that never had these problems.

Love it! Though overpriced at MSRP
Color: Stainless Steel/Blue/Stainless Steel/red-blue, Color: Stainless Steel/Blue/Stainless Steel/red-blue
I love this watch! I had it in my cart for weeks, waiting for an excuse to buy it. The thing holding me back was the $299 MSRP and price on Amazon. I noticed it went down to $200 while I was shopping on Amazon, so I immediately completed the purchase.
At Grey Market retailers, this goes for about $160 (which I think is the perfect price). Unfortunately the Snoopy edition proved difficult to find at that price as it was sold out everywhere. Even sold out on the Timex website at $299.
I still recommend it, but it's all about what you're willing to pay. For me, $200 was an acceptable price and worth it to me. As a snoopy lover, I'll give this to my kids one day! Not a doubt in my mind it won't last for a very long time as it uses a Citizen movement!
