I can't believe I am the first to review this book. I have no complaints what so ever, the book is printed with quality good quality color pictures, the information is thorough each form is well explained, every benefit to each form is explained something you don't see many times in QiGong books. It is authentic, and the author has a well established background in Shaolin, well worth the 14.95 for this type of book and a DVD. Similar titles don't even come close to offering this. I recommend this for anyone interested in QiGong.

This book is absolutely OUTSTANDING - well-explained and easy-to-understand text along with full color pictures illustrating the moves.

And it includes a beautifully produced, high-quality DVD that allows one to follow along as the author (a humble, experienced and well-educated Shaolin monk) demonstrates all the gentle moves that comprise the 45-minute routine. The soundtrack music on the DVD is worth the price of the book/DVD alone - as it provides very inspiring yet soothing music that is the perfect accompaniment to the routine.

The first time I followed the entire routine on the DVD I just had to sit still for some time afterwards and enjoy the tremendous sense of inner tranquility these moves produce in both the body as well as the mind.

I wholeheartedly agree with the reviewer surprised that there aren't more reviews on this wonderful book/DVD.

This book is worth the price of the accompanying DVD alone. Magnificently filmed without narration, the DVD of the Master's workout is pure universal poetry. Easy to follow along and get your chi moving in harmony with the Master's. I have several tai chi DVDs that I practice with, and this is one of my favorites. If you're a total beginner, this may not be the best to start with because of the lack of narration/explanation, but if you already have some experience with breathing and the slow movements of tai chi, this is may be just right for you. Enjoy! I hope this Master will prepare more such video teachings.

Very smoothed and calmed exercices to improve your Qi but not what I expected. The exercises are very different than the indicated by Garripoli in his 2 dvds Beginning Practice, these are a little bit more aerobic and they also claim they have the authentic character and origins of the practiced in the Shaolin Monastery.

This book is a great resource. There is an interesting back story to the development of the book and the excercises are very beneficial to the body. I found doing the exercises a great way to relax and focus the mind in a calm manner.
