"A thoroughly researched and elegantly written account of what is arguably the most important topic in modern Vietnamese political history.

'The CHI Revolution' teaches the 15-Minute Chi Workout, using movements from Dragon and Tiger medical chi gung. It also discusses signs of depleted chi, eight obstacles to practice, current myths in health and fitness, how to sense internal flows, and how to improve meditation in order to access deeper states of awareness.

In this classic text, wing chun master William Cheung unravels the mystery behind the elusive energy of chi. He provides exercises to increase and direct the flow of chi and explains how chi affects the body, the philosophy behind the famous yin-yang symbol, pressure points and the 32 meridians, the principles behind dim mak (the often misunderstood “death touch”), and more. This book is a must-read not only for kung fu practitioners but also for anyone interested in Eastern philosophy.

The Tai Chi Handbook teaches readers all about the art, including its history, styles, applications, and moves.
