Summary: THE INTERNAL MARTIAL ARTIST'S BIBLE!!!
Review: This book is far beyond anything I have ever read about martial arts. Wanna study with a master - HERE IS YOUR CHANCE! You have to be patient, though. It will take several readings and much practice to absorb this storehouse of linguistic and technical brilliance. Count 'em: One, Two, Three, Four, Five Stars!

Summary: Cheng Hsin for fighting, playing, living.
Review: This book is not about a martial arts technique or style, per se. It is more about mind set and internal focus, bordering on the mystical. It may indeed be helpful to the advanced martial artist, but is closer to a study of the zen-like focusing of the internal energy, utilizing the intrinsic power of the earth, etc. The text is difficult to follow at times as the author thrashes about for definitions for his concepts. This is not surprising as the concepts he tackles may be difficult for folks with Judeo-Christian backgrounds to grasp. When all is said and done, it is for the reader to decide if the mind-over-matter techniques and focus on connecting with the power within the Earth (Chi) will actually be of any help in their own study of the Martial Arts. Although overall it reads like a self-help tome, try it, you may like it.

Summary: You must by this
Review: This is probably the best book ever written on the martial arts. The first two chapters alone tripled my power in only a few weeks of practice.
