...honestly, your books are one of a kind in a sense that in the other books of my collection, most of them contains superficial forms and techniques without containing the quintessence of the art being described. Just emailed to say that our books have good content, simple, direct to the point explanation, and keep up the good work-Peter Go, Manilla, Philippines
I just wanted to write and thank you for taking the time and effoert to produce your Warriors of Stillness books,...as far as I am aware there are no zhan zhuang/yi chuan teachers over here in Australia so your book has become an extremely valuable source of instruction. I've started using the methods in vol. 2 to expand my existing Tai Chi standing training and have been getting fantastic results.-Morgan Buchanan, Melbourne, Australia
I just finished reading The Tao of Yi quan and was very moved. Your words were deeply resonant with many of the ideas and energy cultivated in the style I practice, Fu Hok Yao gong Fut Pai.-Tony Carusi, Peachtree, GA
I have enjoyed your books immensely.-Bob Troyer, Bodden Town, Cayman Islands

...a formidable presentatin! I went right to the sections on Master Tam, and found them to be packed with excellent insights.
