It lights the way forward and counts the treasures that Tai Chi can offer both the curious newcomer and the steadfast practitioner.

Chen Tai Chi Chuan is a textbook written primarily for the students of James Cravens or their students associated with Chinese Boxing Institute International. James has studied directly with Christopher Casey, Tao Piang Siang, Yan Gaofei, Chen Quanzhong, Chen Xiaowang, and Chen Bing. He has been an indoor student of Chen Xiaowang since 2006. The book records details of the following topics: Fang Song (loosening exercises), How to Stand, How to Turn, How to Shift weight, How to Step, and breathing, all part of the fundamentals of the art. Secondly, Tai Chi uses silk reeling movement when practicing Tai Chi. All movements are from the body's center, moving unitarily in a spiral or silk-reeling manner. The body turns while maintaining a strict alignment which will keep the body in a position where blood circulation and chi are optimal while practicing. The circulation is enhanced by better posture and fewer deviations from the Tai Ch template. In silk reeling, you use two prime circles and eight two-handed options using the primary two circles. While all Tai Chu moves in a unitary silk reeling manner, the basic exercises recorded in the book are the basics of all the movement. Next, the entire famous Chen style form, Laojia Yilu, is documented in detail with pictures. Beyond this, several chapters speak of other principles and teachings in Tai Chi.

Udtalelser om bogen Sexuel Kung-Fu:”Jeg ønsker denne bog velkommen og tillykke. Der er store tabueromkring nutidens slumrende seksualitet. Fra den seksuelle frigørelse i1960’erne og til nu er det på mange måder gået baglæns; sex er i dagfor mange et projekt, endnu en ting på to-do-listen, som vi skal havehjælp til at gennemføre. Det er synd og skam, for en mere direkte kildetil livskvalitet findes næppe. Jeg er overbevist om, at en energetisk tilgang til mødet mellem to mennesker som den, der præsenteres i dennebog, kan hjælpe os med at genkalde den leg, kraft og intimitet,som vores moderne livsstil har skyllet ud med badevandet.God fornøjelse.”Martin Spang OlsenCand. mag. polyhistor & stuntman“Sexuel Kung Fu er en både smuk, tidløs og imponerende fordomsfribog, der må være en af de mest spektakulære udgivelser i Danmark i2021. Stort tillykke med bogen.”Jens-André P. HerbenerMag.art. i religionshistorie og forfatterFra bogens bagside:Troede du også, at Kung Fu kunhandlede om kampsport?Kung Fu i sin oprindelige betydning henviser til enhver disciplin eller færdighed, der er opnået gennem hårdt arbejde, ikke nødvendigvis kampsport.Det er ligesom smeden, der hamrer på rødglødende jern – efter vedholdende hårdt arbejde over lang tid transformeres jernet til stål. På samme måde er det med “Sexuel Kung Fu”. Gennem træning i Sexuel Kung Fu kan du opnå et langt og sundt liv, og du kan lære at tilfredsstille din partner seksuelt. Dette er bogen til dig, der er nysgerrig på, om sex kan mere, end du hidtil har oplevet. Udgangspunktet er den 4.000 år gamle taoistiske elskovskunst.Du inviteres til at udforske et univers, der åbner en dimension, hvor det fysiske møder det spirituelle. Du vil opleve, at sex ikke alene bliver en vej til at komme tættere på dig selv og den, du er i din naturligste og mest autentiske tilstand, men også en vej til at fremme din fysiske sundhed. I bogen møder du øvelser, som lærer dig at styrke og cirkulere din seksuelle energi, så du kan bruge den ’medicin’, der allerede findes i din krop, til at opnå et langt og sundt liv.
