For centuries, the Chinese have been acknowledged as the masters of understanding the mind-body relationship and the fitness of the body as a whole. Wushu! has been encouraged and developed by the People's government to promote national fitness. Profusely illustrated with over 1,000 original two-color how-to drawings, Wushu! includes the classic 24 exercises of Taijiquan - a Chinese version of isometrics; a series of exercises for babies (aided by their parents) and children; gentle forms of shadowboxing and sword play perfect for the elderly and sedentary; and a section of special exercises to improve health, relieve pain and prevent disease.
