5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent representation of classic Chi-gong exercises., 4 Jul 1999
By A Customer
Although I would recommend this text to even a beginner, Chi-gong is perhaps not the easiest thing to initially learn without someone to guide you. If you've had any previous experience in Chi-gong, Tai-chi or a decent amount of an external martial art, this is an invaluable text not just for improving your health, but also increasing the effectiveness of your energy when you need it most.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good set to practice!, 22 Feb 2005
By Mr. C. W. Turner "carlt43" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Master Yang jwing ming is the real deal. Most of the chi-kung books i have are either badly written,hard to follow, and or sometimes even dangerous to practice. Master ming teaches safe effective styles that work. These exercises may look "simple" however they work! One ive realised is that its better to a do a few exercises correctly than a lot badly. Eight brocades has stood the test of time as an effective safe chi-kung set that can be used by anyone. Do this 20 mins a day and i guarantee you WILL feel benefits. More energy, better posture, better circulation,calmer mind,blanced emotions. But to get it you HAVE to DO it! So buy it and DO it!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple yet comprehensive., 3 Nov 1998
By A Customer
Dr. Yang's book starts with a very thorough, but not too long explanation of the principles of Qigong. It is definitely from a Chinese point of view, but does not leave the Westerner with that "far-away-land" feeling that some books on Chinese martial arts do.

The Qigong routines taught in the second half of the book, are very popular traditional routines that are hundreds of years old. They are not the watered-down, "simplified-for-dumb-Westerners" routines that you find in some books. Yet they are not hard to learn.

Dr. Yang's credentials are impeccable, and he is very down-to-earth in his approach.

I recommend this book for people who are serious about learning an authentic form of Qigong. Those who want to space out to cosmic vibrations should look for another book.
