Martial Sound examines the sound, conceptualization, and function of music in the martial arts traditions of Chinese Canadians. Author Colin McGuire argues that while kung fu practitioners have traditionally used their interdisciplinary performances as a ritual to disperse negative energy for patrons, they now extend that martial function in diaspora to become an empowering performance that challenges a history of race-based discrimination in Canada.
