kart., 23 cm, Ill., 99 S., sehr guter Zustand Unlike most martial ans, Chinese internal (soft-style) boxing docs not depend upon muscular strength. The secret behind its power lies in the cultivation and practical application of internal energy ch'i. There are basically three soft-style martial arts: T'ai-chi, already well known worldwide, and Hsing-i and Pa-kua, relative newcomers to the West. Although they are essentially nix fighting ans but lining ans, they are devastating as systems of seif-defense. This book outlines the history of Pa-kua a style of boxing based on the eight (pa) trigrams (kua) of the 1 Ching and gives a thorough account of the philosophy behind the an. lt also presents to the West for the first time the orthodox style of the late Chinese Pa-kua master Wang Shu-chin. Described here in great detail and fully illustrated are the basic techniques, the eight palm shapes, and the eight tradi-tional methods of "walking the circle." Guided by this easy-to-follow text, the student of Pa-kua can probe deeply into the hitherto hidden secrets of one of the most complete sys-tems of seif-defense ever developed. Robert W. Smith, is famous for his pioncering work in in-troducing the Chinese martial ans to the West; many of his texts are classics in the field. Allen Pittman, Smith's senior student, collaborated on this book after several years of full-time study and research in Taiwan.(Deckeltext) Z29430D7 ISBN 9780804816182 Gemäß §19 UStG weist dieser Verkäufer keine Mehrwertsteuer aus (Kleinunternehmerstatus).
