The official
bow sim mark
library
An expanding collection documenting more than five decades of teaching, research, and cultural preservation.
Preserving a Lifetime of Teaching
Bow Sim Mark’s instructional books introduced generations of students to Chinese Wushu, Tai Chi, and Wudang arts. Many classic titles have remained out of print for years, along with much of her original instructional video library.
Today, these works are being carefully restored and republished as part of the continuing preservation of her legacy. This Library will continue to expand with restored editions, instructional media, archival publications, and previously unpublished materials.
The bow sim mark classics
A landmark collection of Bow Sim Mark’s original forms and instructional works, first published throughout the 1990s and beyond. These signature titles are among the defining expressions of Master Mark’s teachings, innovations, and artistic vision
