excellent pictures, tho the force arrows r occasionally confusing. the applications were sufficiently illustrative, and the inclusion of so many qi kung forms was much appreciated!!

but its quite frustrating for the author to lay out what constitutes xingyiquan, say that he will walk u thru it, and then proceed to leave out a huge amount of essential content bc "its covered in many other books." ya, the entirety of this book is covered in many other books! thats not the point dude! if u thought there were enough xingyi books, dont write another one! and the huai-xian (or simply xingyiquan) form that is given in place of the 12 animals is also found in other manuals anyway! frustrating ( )
