JUICE Radical Taiji Energetics describes the entire process of generating maximal internal power (qi) through the slow motion martial art of Chinese Taijiquan (T'ai Chi Ch'uan). All aspects of cultivation and deployment of Taiji's spirit energy are described in accessible terms. This book explains that the great past Taiji masters were not pointing at mere physical structure or mechanical principles in their teachings. Rather, they have left us a legacy of ecstatic internal energy methods that are unwrapped, unraveled, and demystified in this book.

Gale–force winds blew, bitter with the cold of approaching winter. Stranded and desperate, Lieutenant Victor Campbell and his five companions faced disaster. They burrowed inside a snowdrift, digging an ice cave with no room to stand upright, but space for six sleeping bags on the floor—the three officers on one side, the three seamen on the other. Circumstances forc...

I don't know how to describe this book. If I say it's ideal for beginners, I'll be hit with incredulity: How can a book that teaches so many obscure yet specific, fully functional drills for generating the deepest experience of internal power, with the physical training process as well as energetic effects laid out in illustrated drill steps - all supported by precise, original translations of the relevant sections of the classical Tai Chi writings supplemented with texts by little known historical masters - possibly be considered a 'beginner' book?
