A great book on traditional Chinese exercises

Using this book you can learn some traditional Chinese fitness exercises, including Eight-Section Brocade and Tai Chi. Effectiveness for keeping fit, ease in learning, and economy of exercising time are the criteria for the exercises to be chosen in this book. It should be noted here that there is more to these exercises than first meets the eye. Some people might think that these exercises are too simple and do not offer enough challenge. Actually, they require a tremendous amount of self-discipline. You could say that the method for dragon fighting is more advanced than the method for bull fighting; actually bull fighting is a lot easier and useful than dragon fighting. Think about how many dragons you will meet in your lifetime, and how much effort you would have to make for mastering the skill of dragon fighting. The exercises offered here are simple and are easy to master. Hence, they are more suitable to the average person who is primarily interested in maintaining good health. The general features of traditional Chinese fitness exercises are very different from some modern exercises such as aerobics or weight lifting. A concentration of the mind is always emphasized to reach a harmonic state between the spiritual mind and the physical body. The balance of Yin and Yang, the unity of man and environment, the integration of gesture with mind and chi, and the oneness of spirit with strength and momentum are just a few of these features.
