Product Description

Book Description

Chi gung is a 3,000-year-old physical discipline that practitioners consider to be more essential to health than cardiovascular exercise. The ancient system, called the "internal martial arts," emphasizes improving the life force flow, chi, by opening the body's energy centers. These simple exercises derive their power from repetition. They are illustrated in more than 300 watercolors based on ancient Chinese scrolls and cave paintings.

This review is from: Ancient Way to Keep Fit (Paperback)
I find this book recommendable for both beginners and advance practitioners with or without any practical experience in Tai chi, Chi Kung ,etc. There is a wide selection of methods and techniques to choose from.

The book gives a short description of the history of the various Methods and Techniques and informs the reader on the pupose of the exercises in enhancing health or as a preventive measure against certain ailments. The Illustrations are very clear, the presentation is well structured and the instructions are so simple and easy to follow. I really enjoy this book.

This review is from: Ancient Way to Keep Fit (Paperback)
I bought this book not to learn Qigong, but to enjoy the beauty of old paintings from different centuries that deal with martial arts. This book does exactly what I was looking for. It is a collection of paintings and translations of the texts found in different locations and dated back to different times. The paintings are carefully beautified, sometimes the authors imitated the original styles to add missing parts showing strong expertise. It is not a text book to learn Qigong, even you possibly may do it when you are still familiar with all important principles. It is a mobile museum and as that it is great and worth to find its way into your book shelf.
