The Book of Soft Martial Arts : Finding Personal Harmony With Chi Kung, Hsing I, Pa Kua and T'Ai Chi - Softcover
Synopsis
The soft martial arts address the internal development of the individual, contrasting with the external power developed by the combative martial arts. This book guides the student through the ancient Chinese techniques of spiritual training and meditation through movement. The book is divided into two sections. Part one introduces the four major soft martial art systems, with clear and precise explanations of the traditional theories underlying each one. The gentle, fluid movements and breathing techniques are described through a series of illustrations and captions. Part two is dedicated to creating and maintaining a balanced lifestyle through diet and by a closer look at how chi, or energy, in the body is affected by our lifestyle and environment. Examples for the treatment of common ailments using the soft martial arts are also provided.
