Shaolin Temple boxing is the father of all boxing forms in China and is a close ancestor of Japanese karate.

But up to the present, only three set series of the Snake Boxing (altogether seven series) have been made public by Zhiji, a disciple of Monk Jingwu. This is the first book about the combat art of the Jingang-Chan of Shaolin martial arts written by Zhiji.Master Jeon Translated and adopted. This book is his “volume2”. Master Jeon teaches traditional Northern Style Kung Fu, including Shaolin, Jin Woo, Chen Style Tai Chi Quan, and Qi Gong.
He also knows many Southern Style forms and principles, such as Wing Chun and Hung Gar. He focuses on traditional training – energy cultivation, perfection of forms, strength building, application, and intensive sparring.
QiGong or C'hi Kung (also health related topics) There are literally thousands of styles of Chi Kung (Qigong) in China. Some are famous and involved. Some are obscure and quite simple. There is also a lot of misinformation on the topic. For instance the term 'Ch'i Kung' or Ch'i Exercise, was rarely if ever used before 1950. Ch'i Kung is, in some sense, a newly created designation compiled from older sources. Like the ubiquitous 'Medical Chi K'ung' it is a term with little meaning more meant to capture attention and a market than anything else.
Formerly, Ch'i Kung, which was more commonly known as 'Nei Kung' was divided into three classical forms based on its use and origin: Scholarly, Martial and Religious. Each had attributes and characteristics and any could be used for health. The idea that you did this exercise for that illness was not often utilized and was far more personalized and sophisticated than much of what we see today. Nonetheless, this is a great study and should be scrutinized with care and intelligence. This is why we have so few book listed considering the immense popularity of the subject. As in the case of Feng Shui books, few are good enough to waste time with.

His name and writings are scattered throughout the Taoist cannon, burdened by more texts than ay other belief system in history. Ton Bisio has thereby rendered a service to both the blurry-eyed scholar and practicing martial devotee by compiling between two covers a large portion of Chen’s Tuan’s life, teachings and ideas. There’s a lot here so, if you are new to the study, just take smaller steps such as those Tuan has set out for us. On the specific subject, namely the sleeping Gong (special formalized method or exercise), he breaks down and explains the steps utilized in the discipline. The very idea of a sleep meditation follows a profound concept found in Chinese therapeutics. This special method comes up again and again in various braches of learning. It’s based on the idea of adopting some natural way of acting and using it as a pattern on which to construct a “practice.” For instance, much Kung Fu looks like kids slap-fighting to the uninitiated.
The reason is that, past a certain point of training Kung Fu technique reiterates what children do, only now with Iron Hand Training, fighting skill and so on. Chen’s and similar methods base their rejuvenative powers things like Bagua walking, Tai Chi standing, Qigong breathing and, amazingly, Taoist sleeping. All this follows from the “simple” recognition of the “extraordinary power of the ordinary.” A varied collection of key concepts that might be a little thick for the new student; a lot of vocabulary all in the same place.

Bagua Nei Gong Series by Tom Bisio Multiple volumes As a later addition to the world of Chinese martial arts, Bagua is the inheritor of many branches of information.
In addition to its signature circling and twisting, it is also a system comprising much Kung Fu information that is commonly scattered and hard to find. Tom’s newest offering is a series of books which can progressively or individually bring you into the world of Bagua Nei Gong training. (Martial artists often prefer to use Nei Gong over the more common”Qi Gong” for a number of reasons, including the somewhat more sophisticated concepts involved in the study of Nei Gong.) Many of these will be familiar to practitioners of martial and Daoist studies.

Book #6: Marrow Washing Nei Gong 103 pages, photographs and illustrations counting 20 page glossary In this volume Tom Bisio takes a decided step toward the core of the the practice—literally. Almost the first thing he does in this volume is to introduce bone breathing, an ancient and perennial method well known among martial artists and monks.
He extends this into a series of even deeper direction aiming at concentrated focus on the marrow in the bones, partly a method of concentration that engages fundamental reactions. He then shows a consolidating series of postures and massage techniques.

Original cover KW028 WuJiShi Breathing Exercise from the teachings of Cai SongFang $16.95, 101 pages, softbound, illustrations When I first stumbled on this text, I was unaware of Yi Quan. Therefore my reaction to the book was without concern for its martial origins and applications. I was taken with the commentson its relation to my own first Taiji style, Yang Shi, and the use of the WuJiShi practice by my Great-Grandteacher, Yang Chen Fu.Cai supports this by claiming the WuJiShi was passed down from Yang to Ye De Mi then Jin Ren Lin and then to himself.
Cai is responsible for bringing this method to the South and the Guangzhou area. Though quite technical in parts, this is a small gem of inspirational teaching: solid, foundational Qigong in a world suddenly hustling faddish and questionable techniques. Whether you subscribe to the Yi Quan general theory or not, this is a fine source of information.
Quantity KS007 Secret Shaolin Formulas for the treatment of External Injury Transmitted by Patriarch De Chan, translated by Zhang Ting-Liang & Bob Flaws $19.95, 152 pages, softbound This book contains hundreds of authentic herbal formulae for external injuries. It was compiled by De Chan (from whom, by the by, we personally learned the Shaolin Ba Duan Jin years ago). These records from the Shaolin Temple itself cover such martially specific injuries as prescriptions for injuries such as 'Neck Hit by Halberd' and 'Injury to Bone Due to Poisonous Arrow'.
Plasters are also given. This book shows real formulae and therefore not necessarily composed of easily obtained herbs. Prescriptions are in Pinyin and Latin. Topics include Medicinal Wines, Dim Mak injuries, Fall and Strike injuries and more. No illustrations.
Quantity KC006 Chi Gong The Ancient Chinese Way to Health by Paul Dong and Aristide H. Esser $14.95, 212 pages, illustrations and photos, softbound Paul Dong's former book Empty Force (see below) is a well known (and some would say notorious) treatment of Chi Gong's esoteric and definitely controversial methods such as projecting energy through space. Dong covers many aspects as the Table of Contents will attest:. How Chi Gong works on cancer. Empty Force - the Mystery of Chi. The Magic Palm and the One Finger Art.
How to perform Chi Gong. What is Chi Gong We believe that Mr. Dong believes. We also think that if you are really interested in the subject this is a book you should read. For those who are already convinced, Dong will be speaking their language.
To those who may believe that here is a real subject for real exploration, Dong will probably seem to have already capitulated too easily. Skepticism and cynicism are often differentiated by the slightest shade of coloring. There is much in the realm of Chi Gong which we have seen with our own eyes and felt with a thorough conviction. There is also a plentitude of silliness and quackery. All in all the subject itself bears scrutiny and, we think, rewards time spent. Chi Gong has a solid grounding, for instance, in martial practice. It's how far you can go with it that's the sticking point.
Quantity KE012 The Essence of Taoism Qigong Internal and External Dan Exercise by Wang Feng Ming $29.95, 225 pages, illustrated with photos, softbound Besides being a student of Feng Zhi Qiang, Mr. Wang is also his son-in-law. His access to top level information about the art of Qigong shows throughout this text. You will note PLUM does not have a large collection of Qigong books. This is because so many of the dozens we review are mediocre approaching terrible.
This is not the case here. But be aware, this is translated from the Chinese. The relatively good use of English occasionally lapses despite the quality of the explanations. This book is divided in eight sections.
It follows the typical Chinese approach to knowledge where definitions are paramount so much of this book is dedicated to supplying definitions. This can be deceptive because the definitions are actually crucial to an understanding of real Qigong. So 'tranquility' for instance is seen as a combination of multiple factors and learning these factors makes 'tranquility' more than a word. This book is most appropriate to the Qigong practitioner, martial artist or Chinese style doctor. Sections divide into explanation, exercises and a Q & A section. Most books on this subject fall into two categories: useless because it's just 'passed down' information or too airy.
This is solid, technical and informative but will bear your concentration. Feng Zhi Qiang was, by the way, not only a top martial artist and Qigong expert but the student of Hu YaoZhen, basically the father of modern Qigong.

A master of Southern Mantis, a student in temples since his childhood, an inheritor of a fine martial lineage: he is well chosen to write a book like this.
This is a significant text because the Six Healing sounds are famous and well documented in Chinese history. In this case we have the benefit of Mark having studied directly from Ma Lai Tong, the developer of this version of the sound Qigong and a famous Qigong expert. This book covers many topics such as tongue position, basic postures, exercises for separate organs, circulating qi on the microcosmic orbit and more. Thin but packed with information. Quantity KW005 The Way of Qigong Kenneth S.
Cohen $16.95, 428 pages, softbound, If, by chance, you actually want to sound like you know anything about the subject of Qigong, you should immediately go out and buy this book. Cohen is a scholar, and from personal experience, a gentleman. He has also written what must be a source book for every practitioner.
He calls this 'The Art and Science of Chinese Energy Healing' and he's afraid of neither. He has garnered a ton of scientific work while clearly and patiently explaining the essence of Qigong. Do we agree with everything?
Two martial artists, three opinions as they say. But for integrity, honesty, thoughtfulness and just plain work, this jumps to the list of essential volumes. You think we're positive about this book?

Teacher Wong Kiew Kit has been studying, teaching and promoting Chi Kung for decades. But there's more.
He's a no-nonsense aficionado who believes both principally and philosophically in what he teaches. In other words he authentically wants to help people. He writes well and directly.
He knows what he teaches. He has demonstrated publicly to show the efficacy of his work. He also discourages people from thinking of Chi Kung as a quick cure or 'treat your friend's cancer in a week' malarkey. This text deals in specifics like Chi Kung for stress management, for sexual problems, for longevity, etc. One chapter is on distant Chi transmission, another on the conceptual basis of miracles. Wong is not afraid to deal with the sketchy topics because he is absolutely convinced of the rationality of his work.
He didn't discover Chi Kung last month.

Finally, there is a special section on the treatment of nocturnal emissions. Small pamphlet, no illustrations. This is probably the 1975 edition.
