Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Tai Chi is a tool that can be used for many things, from physical therapy to physical fitness to dance. But it is primarily used for the internal energy it can provide, which is a natural high that far exceeds anything else. #2 PENG energy is the result of a martial artist recognizing, initiating, directing, and extending it. It can be static like a lake, or it can flow like a river or riptide. It can be a continuous stream, or come in waves. Waves are either hard breakers on the shore with whitecaps cresting and breaking, or longer, slower, and more powerful ocean swells.

Book Description
JUICE Radical Taiji Energetics describes the entire process of generating maximal internal power (qi) through the slow motion martial art of Chinese Taijiquan (T'ai Chi Ch'uan). All aspects of cultivation and deployment of Taiji's spirit energy are described in accessible terms. This book explains that the great past Taiji masters were not pointing at mere physical structure or mechanical principles in their teachings. Rather, they have left us a legacy of ecstatic internal energy methods that are unwrapped, unraveled, and demystified in this book. The presentation is clear, engaging, and profound, and includes working solo, working with a partner, and mastering the Taiji sword. JUICE is an essential companion for anybody from the raw beginner to the long-term veteran practitioner or teacher of Taiji. Which feels better, crack cocaine or Taiji energy? Why is spirit power (not physical structure) Taiji's true engine of mastery? Whether you're a seasoned player or merely Tai-curious, JUICE will hand you the hidden master keys to TAIJI (T'ai Chi Ch'uan) Contents include: The BRUTE level of internal energy; Taiji's MISSING BASIC for universal energy permeation; The ARC OF STEEL for Taiji's Full Body Activation; The SURGE and the STATE; The real purpose and method of Taiji's PUSH-HANDS exercise; The TAILOR'S TOUCH for supreme sensitivity; YINJECTION and YINFUSION for power emission; The SHELL and its SPIKE, SLIDE, SLURP, and NUDGE power concepts; Taiji's energy meta-tool: the Chinese STRAIGHT SWORD; and much more. JUICE isn't a photo-sequence textbook, illustrating a set of dance poses. JUICE doesn't blandly re-parrot the arcane Chinese philosophy from which Taiji emerged. This book lays out the specific mental "settings" that super-charge any style of Taiji and explains how to use Taiji for personal energy cultivation - with effects that anyone can experience immediately. Whether you currently practice Taiji or you're just thinking of getting into it, you should read JUICE before taking another step.

Book Description
I don't know how to describe this book. If I say it's ideal for beginners, I'll be hit with incredulity: How can a book that teaches so many obscure yet specific, fully functional drills for generating the deepest experience of internal power, with the physical training process as well as energetic effects laid out in illustrated drill steps - all supported by precise, original translations of the relevant sections of the classical Tai Chi writings supplemented with texts by little known historical masters - possibly be considered a 'beginner' book? On the other hand, calling it 'advanced' belies my motivation in writing it, because this is exactly the book I wish I'd been issued at the first Tai Chi class I ever attended. Not only for inspiration but for the specific, ground-truth covert energy methods. This book is packed with Tai Chi-based internal cultivation techniques that will take your practice of any Tai Chi style into hyperdrive. No matter how I describe it, somebody will post saying they feel ripped off. Furthermore, let me say it loud, say it clear, right up front: 'you cannot learn the form sequence from this book'. Is that plain enough? So - beginner? advanced? It's both, it's neither, or give me some other word for it. All I can say is that if you have any reasonable degree of intelligent, working interest in Tai Chi or human internal energy, this book was written for you.

Book Description
An in-depth exploration of T'ai Chi through the practice of Cloud Hands, a foundational exercise common to all schools of this popular martial art Part theoretical treatise, part training manual, this book facilitates a deeper understanding of "internal" movement and training for students of T'ai Chi and other internal martial arts. Step-by-step exercises help to bring the theoretical into concrete practice and application. Author Robert E. Tangora, an accomplished practitioner and teacher of several different styles of T'ai Chi, places a heavy emphasis on the development of internal structure and building a solid foundation in the art's most basic movements. Intermediate and advanced practitioners will discover a deeply interconnected world of practice; beginning students will learn basic training methods that can help them bypass years of incomplete training and erase incorrect habits already formed. Tangora also stresses the importance of meditation and its crucial relationship to the art's health and martial aspects, as well as how to use the spine to integrate movements—especially important for practitioners with back problems who wish to learn how to move without inducing pain. Readers will learn to: • Cultivate internal power • Discover the inner workings of Tai Chi Ch'uan • Understand the meaning of the T'ai Chi classics • Move without injury • Relieve back pain

Book Description
SURGE is packed with tricks and tips for turning Tai Chi into the engine of internal power mastery it was originally meant to be. While centered on the Zheng Manqing 37-Step Simplified Tai Chi method, the insights and practices for internal power development can be adapted to other methods. The book is geared to those who've learned or are learning the ZMQ method or another Tai Chi system, but its insights on Tai Chi internal power will also be enlightening and inspiring for beginners or the casual reader who's merely 'Tai-curious'. Beyond Tai Chi, SURGE will be of interest to any martial artist or healer who is involved with development or application of the body's intrinsic non-material energies. Contents Preface Fable Introduction Tai Chi Structure Principles A Further Note on Relaxation The Cat-Step Protocol Cat-Step Imagery Cat-Step: Left Wardoff Example The Counter-Sink Protocol Counter-Sink: Left Wardoff Example Duration How to Work It Barriers, Hangups, Impediments Pose Notes (The ZMQ37 Form) Bread Sandwich Tai Chi Advanced Work The Big Picture Refund Policy SURGE is emphatically not a full photo-sequence paint-by-numbers introduction to the entire method. Although the internal development requirements for every pose in the ZMQ sequence are fully described, visual references for each pose are not included. SURGE is not adequate for, and not intended as, a step-by-step tutorial on the mechanics of the system. You cannot learn the ZMQ method from this book. It is intended as a supplement to your Tai Chi study. Please take this advisory very seriously - you'll sound ridiculous if you later complain: "I couldn't learn the Tai Chi form from this book!" It's a repository of profound internal training insights that you can apply to the Tai Chi that you've learned elsewhere. If you're wondering where this book fits with my other books on Tai Chi, here's how they relate: JUICE is a love letter; PENG is a travel guide; SURGE is the owner's manual. SURGE will also be useful as companion notes for my future DVD release 'Tai Chi GROUND' (expected in 2015) which demonstrates and teaches every ZMQ37 pose and all the inter-pose transitions, under this same internal cultivation framework. I really don't want dissatisfied customers, and I'm sure you'd rather not waste your money and then your time, venting your angry spleen all over the internet. Fortunately I have a track record and before clicking to buy this, I request that you do some research by reading all the reviews of all my other books. Read the cheers and the jeers, the lovers and the haters, all of it, before deciding to buy. Though embedded rock-solid in the philosophy of the Tai Chi Classic Writings, nevertheless the title says it best: my approach is RADICAL, and it seriously baffles and bothers many people. If, after doing full diligence, you're left with any doubts whatsoever, that's the universe giving you thumbs-down, telling you this material isn't for you, so err on the side of caution and save your money.
