Format:Paperback
Sifu Wong shows a far superior understanding of Chi Kung (Qigong) in his books than many other authors have demonstrated.
In this sincere, no-nonsence book Sifu Wong demonstrates some of the most powerful basic exercises of his repertoire from the "Eighteen Lohan Hands" ("Shaolin Cosmos Qigong"). He shows various three-month programs for the reader to follow for sports, martial arts and alleviating illnesses. Even if you are healthy you will gain benefit from practicing these exercises.
Sifu Wong Kiew Kit's books are concise, and easy to read. This is a nice "do-along" book for "The Art of Chi Kung" (also by the author). I highly recommend this, and his other five books. It does exactly what it says on the tin!

I read this book in 1999 during a very low point in my life. I was intrigued with the concept of energy flow and the healing aspects of Chi Kung as well as the easy and simplistic style of writing making it easy for the reader to understand.
I suffered from a back and neck injury and was advised that I was going to end up in a wheelchair. This book gave me hope and a desire to try the type of Chi Kung taught by the author. As he mentioned that a book is no substitute for a teacher I didn't try anything from the book, although I read it over and over again. I travelled to meet him in person in 2000. After 8 months my back was completely healed and emotionally I felt free and happy once again.
That is 12 years ago and I have never looked back!

This book sparks off all kinds of inspiration with regard to harnassing chi,And using different animal styles etc.However it is important to keep an open mind as some of the stories are difficult to believe for the untrained mind!.The excercises inside though simple seem to be effective after several months,both fittness and visualization improve.It is only a guide,so find an instructor for sefe advice,
