5.0 out of 5 stars A comprehensive book on the subject of Chinese health, May 28, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Essence of Tai Chi Chi Kung : Health and Martial Arts (YMAA Publication Center Book Series, B014) (Paperback)
This book explains what tai-chi hopes to accomplish and a complete description of Chi-kung's origins. It is not for those who are only lightly interested in Tai chi... this book covers a lot of ground. It gives the english and chinese terms for those who wish to learn everything they can about this ancient art. It is deticated to explaining it's health benifits, origins and chi-kung's influence on the body and mind (along with man's place with heaven and earth). Even to those who never plan on taking tai chi, the book covers a bit of oriental philosophy, kung-fu and how to focus chi-power for better living. This book is worth every cent, and more!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Chi of Tai Chi., January 5, 2001
This review is from: The Essence of Tai Chi Chi Kung : Health and Martial Arts (YMAA Publication Center Book Series, B014) (Paperback)
This book provides what so many books touch on, but never really go in-depth into. It provides a detailed viewpoint of the medical side of the martial arts from an Eastern viewpoint.

It talks about where Chi is generated, the medical benefits of stimulating Chi, uses, practice and so much more! The entire book is filled with page after page of knowledge. I have used this book to fill the holes in other books I've collected. I would highly recommend this book. It is very informative!

This review is from: The Essence of Tai Chi Chi Kung : Health and Martial Arts (YMAA Publication Center Book Series, B014) (Paperback)
This book is a good introduction to Tai Chi and its relationship to Chi Kung practices. The warm up exercises are great.
