The Essence of Internal Martial Arts
    Finally, an authoritative manual that demystifies some of the most subtle and esoteric aspects in the field of Internal Kung Fu. A vastly informative book, indispensable for any martial arts/healing arts library, by a masterful practioner and expert teacher.
 
Preface
    This book series (Volumes I & II) is not presented as a scholarly work, but is intended as an accessible source book for those martial artists who wish to explore the full potential of their own internal systems. They contain a compilation of information for the complete integration of body, mind, emotion and spirit. This internal fusion of whole body awareness requires constant balance, as we are in a state of peretual change.
    Keep in mind that because of my extensive experience in Pa Kua Chang, some of the information given in this manual will be influenced from that viewpoint. Although the methodologies may vary between internal schools, the functional structure, alignment, Nei Kung (Internal Skill) and Fa Chin (Explosive Energy), will always be the same.
    These books are not offered as a ruler to judge your teachers by, rather they are meant to encourage you to progress toward your full potential as a mature martial artist.
