Editorial Review: Product Description: The combat techniques of Tai Ji, Ba Gua, and Xing Yi were forbidden during China's Cultural Revolution, but the teachings of grandmaster Wang Pei Shing have survived. This comprehensive guide, written by one of his students, selects core movements from each practice and gives the student powerful tools to recognize the unique strategies and skills, and to develop a deeper understanding, of each style. It contains complete instructions for a 16-posture form to gain mastery of combat techniques. The book helps practitioners achieve a new level of practice, where deeply ingrained skills are brought forth in a more fluid, intuitive, and fast-paced fashion. Average Rating:

But even after a year of good training, this book might be okay (but the person would have to work pretty hard, though). That having been said, there's a lot of good information ...

Don't get me wrong, it is a valid piece, but it is for someone who is already familiar with the Chinese internal arts. Not a price but for your money, you might want to go with something else. Rating: - Excellent resourceThis is a very good book on the subject by an author that clearly has extensive experience and knowledge on the subjects. He present a unique form which combines key aspects of three arts
