REVIEWS

Victor Jackson, Amazon
This will be a classic. This book contains the theory and practice of Qigong, the theory and practice of Tai chi, the History of both plus drills on making your Tai Chi and Qigong better. There are other books by Dr. Yang on Tai Chi and Qigong but this is the first time, I think, he has put equal knowledge of both in one book plus its history.
