I really enjoyed this book. Its opening chapter is very interesting as it historically details how the understanding of Ki first came to be embraced on the ancient Korean Peninsula. I think the most important element this book, however, is that it gives very clearly articulated methods on how to actually develop and utilize Ki energy. It never becomes lost in the hocus-pocus aspects of Ki. Instead, it sticks to practical applications.

This is a very good book -- the only one I have ever read which teaches the Korean method for developing Ki energy.

What is most interesting and impressive about this book is the way that Master Shaw makes the practice of Ki easy. The Ki development techniques in this book are precisely described and easy to use. Great Book - Great Read - Recommended!!!

Ki is so often spoken of in association with the martial arts. But, the method for how to actually develop and use Ki is virtually never taught. This is why this book is so refreshing. Not only does this book provide the historical foundations of Ki, from a Korean perspective, but it also provides exact step-by-step techniques to actually learn how to harness and develop Ki and then use it in everyday life. I give this book two thumbs up.

Excellent book- very specific information. I will continue to use this as a reference while furthering my education in Ki energy. I have already begun to practice the 4 phase breath exercise and have seen benefit from it.

First and foremost I have to say that this book does a great job of presenting the Korean understanding and usage of Ki. Though Korean Ki is mentioned in a number of other books, this is the only text that truly provides the complete historical foundations of this understanding and the complete how-to. Not only is this a very interesting book to read, but the reader can truly come away with something that they can use. I give this book, "5 Stars."

Having read the excellent Warrior is Silent, I was dissapointed with this. The book is a worthy introduction to Traditional Chinese Medicine but most of Mr Shaw's work here can be found in any text book on acupuncture.

There is so much nonsense surrounding Ki -- in the movies, in books, in magazine articles. This book has none of that. This book presents a Straight-Ahead approach on how to understand Ki, develop it, and how to actually use it in every day life. Read This Book!

It's OK, but the pictures of the breathing techniques are totally inadequate. A little too much "Golden Light", but some good info anyway.

this book doesnthave much real ki development but it does give an accurate description of the meridians and some korean history. i could be meaner and say that the book is ripping u off because u can find the same information and better ki development in other books,and i just did, but that would be somewhat offensive.keep in mind that because the author doesnt know his information is not top quality he should not be looked down upon for it. just like i may be wrong and should not be looked down upon for it
