  I've always been indifferent to doing the eight brocades as many books that are around are very ill informed about how these ancient practices should be done.

• Just remarquable!!
  The Author gives you through the 8 exercices a simple efficient internal work on energy . this book is a must.

  The author obviously doesn't have a clue what Taoism actually is. Look at the book's own description - it claims that he has studied with numerous Taoist masters and then goes on to list as examples a collection of Buddhists and martial artists. Not a single Taoist makes the list. If you want to read about Taoism, try a book written by someone, anyone, who actually knows what it is!
