The Tai Chi Concepts and Experiments book clarifies and makes accessible critical aspects of the art that are currently understood and manifested by only a small number of high-level practitioners. Numerous step-by-step experiments are provided for readers to experience and perfect these critical Tai Chi aspects. Over the half-century that I have studied Taiji, I have found that explanations of certain essential elements of the art are either insufficiently clear or absent. Two such elements are (1) the cultivation of expansive strength, which does not originate from nerve impulses producing contraction of muscle fibers but from a different action, and (2) the optimal timing of movement from the legs, to the hips, and out to the arms. I am concerned that these two essential elements will be forever lost to the majority of Taiji practitioners, especially those of the Yang style.

Since ancient times Tai Chi Chuan has been practiced as a holistic mind/body fitness system, bringing immense benefits for practitioners in health, longevity, relaxation, and concentration. Tai Chi Chuan was also practiced as an effective and deadly martial art. Because of this, the ancient masters rarely disclosed their secrets, guarding them as closely as they would military secrets. In order to help the Taijiquan practitioner understand the essence of Taijiquan and its root, the author intends to translate the existing and available ancient Taijiquan documents from various sources. This includes the secrets of many well known ancient masters such as Zhang, San-Feng, and Wang, Zong-Yue, as well as other, unknown authors. This includes the secrets of different Taijiquan styles well-known today, such as Yang, Wu, and Chen.

This book presents Aikido as a theory of movement based on a fundamental principle encoded in its name: the way of harmonising energy flows. A deductive reasoning approach is applied to derive the method to solve dynamic conflicts, and its link to physics is developed. This enables the establishment of objective criteria to assess the quality of the Aikido movements. The relationship to the Japanese sword -the katana- is investigated in detail. This allows the introduction of the Aikido-script. In this way, an Aikido technique can be written as the combination of a series of basic katana movements, which are interconnected through the dynamic centre's smooth flow path.

Our New Second Edition is now in Full Color!! 75 Defenses against kicks, punches, garbs and holds!! This book was designed to give the beginner and black belt level martial artist a quick easy reference manual of how to deal with a large variation of different types of attacks that one may encounter in sparring or in a street situation. Most students when first beginning in a martial arts program are more interested in the actual defensive techniques than in kata (forms/patterns). Kata and/or traditional drills are usually based more on discipline rather than actual combat realism or knowledge. In much of the Kata practice today the students and even master level black belts don't even know what all the moves actually represent. Kata practice can be very important for development of good stances, footwork, concentration, focus, but still lacks the actual hands on practice necessary to develop good combat skills.
