Gung Fu: The Natural Way of Health & Self Defense Book by Michael Schmitt (Preowned)

This legendary Southern system of Gung Fu, the reserve of royalty and revealed only within the family, held in secrecy for thousands of years, has for the first time in history been opened to the West. The author, master teacher under Grand Master Sikes, the "first and last" non-oriental 4th degree Red Sash under Grand Master Liu Seong, introduces the fundamental principles of Gung Fu as applied to health and self defense.

These principles and techniques, clearly illustrated in more than 70 photographs, include proper posture, coordination, breathing, balance, concentration, moving meditation, flexibility, agility, softness, self control, continuity, and tranquility; thus the function of the nervous, circulatory and vascular, digestive, and musculoskeletal systems can be strengthened.
