The Manchu bow was used by China's ancient royal military during the Qing Dynasty. It has been admired by everyone from Chairman Mao to Jackie Chan. But this traditional weapon is facing extinction, as there is only one man left in China who still knows how to make it. His name is Yang Fuxi of the Juyuanhao bow and arrow factory. His family has been crafting the Manchu bow for ten generations.
