Customer Reviews:
An excellent representation of classic Chi-gong exercises.
By Zakarius - July 4, 1999Although I would recommend this text to even a beginner, Chi-gong is perhaps not the easiest thing to initially learn without someone to guide you. If you've had any previous experience in Chi-gong, Tai-chi or a decent amount of an external martial art, this is an invaluable text not just for improving your health, but also increasing the effectiveness of your energy when you need it most.Zakarius
Simple yet comprehensive.
By A Customer - November 3, 1998Dr. Yang's book starts with a very thorough, but not too long explanation of the principles of Qigong. It is definitely from a Chinese point of view, but does not leave the Westerner with that "far-away-land" feeling that some books on Chinese martial arts do.The Qigong routines taught in the second half of the book, are very popular traditional routines that are hundreds of years old. They are not the watered-down, "simplified-for-dumb-Westerners" routines that you find in some books. Yet they are not hard to learn.Dr. Yang's credentials are impeccable, and he is very down-to-earth in his approach.I recommend this book for people who are serious about learning an authentic form of Qigong. Those who want to space out to cosmic vibrations should look for another book.
Real Poetry
By Micha Ashkenazi - February 5, 2000Having had a certain experience in Chi Kong and Tai Chi, I found this book very helpful, as a matter of fact a real poetry both intellectually and CHI wise. I have read many of Dr. Yang's books which I found very instructive. I wanted this book for its exercises and was attracted by the fact that they can be performed in 10-20 minutes. This was my only disappointment. How can this be possible when you have to perform each exercise at least 24 times? Personally, it takes me about 40 minutes, 40 enjoyable minutes.
