As a result there are all kinds of authors who capitalise on the misunderstood nature of the art by adding layers of mystery and confusion. This compact book takes the opposite approach. It focuses on the key Baguazhang exercise of circle walking, which is used to develop body power, healh, martial mobility and meditative clarity. This book gives simple, clear instructions which are pared down to the essentials. It uses classical Chinese verses about Bagua as its core, and is illustrated to show footwork patterns and postural principles. This book is written to save you time and headaches so that you can progress in your practise. This book will also help you to see the practical sense hidden in other Chinese books and methods. About the Author: Edward Hines started his practice of Baguazhang in 1991 in Taiwan Republic of China. He is currently based in Paris, France.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50592592036113,"sku":"GOR008813918","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51033528959249,"sku":"NIN9781519250315","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1519250312.jpg?v=1751406307"},{"product_id":"beginning-bagua-book-edward-hines-9781500630553","title":"Beginning Bagua","description":"Beginning Bagua is probably the most down to earth, practical book about Baguazhang currently available. It is written with the goal of providing concrete, directly useful information on Bagua. This book covers the basics of body use stepping, static posture training, Qigong, key movements, striking and throwing applications, circle walking as well as how Bagua's intellectual framework applies to martial tactics and to general training. Much of what you will find in this book is useful not just to practitioners of Bagua, but to martial artists in general. Beginning Bagua is extensively illustrated with photos of both solo movements, basic exercises, palm changes and martial applications. Bagua is often presented as mysterious, complicated and difficult. It certainly requires study and practice, but this book provides the keys to make sense of the 'abstract' movements, to see the logic behind them and begin to develop useful skills. This book can save you a lot of grief and confusion  The information itself is presented in a straight forward way, based on direct experience and written with at least occasional humour. Beginning Bagua is the first book in a series that will look at aspects of Bagua with increasing detail and an emphasis on practicality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50592591970577,"sku":"GOR011806610","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51031262494993,"sku":"NIN9781500630553","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1500630551.jpg?v=1750828729"},{"product_id":"moving-into-stillness-book-edward-hines-9781500758912","title":"Moving into Stillness","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51030983868689,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030986031377,"sku":"NIN9781500758912","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1500758914.jpg?v=1750759789"},{"product_id":"offices-book-edward-hines-9780754518891","title":"Offices","description":"Risk assessment is the key to successful management of health and safety at work. Risk assessments are carried out in order to quantify and evaluate the significance of workplace hazards so that appropriate control measures can be put in place. Usually, a written record of the assessment is required, detailing the following information: the hazards - and how much risk is associated; the risk - with appropriate control measures; and, deadlines - to follow-up the risk assessment to ensure the risk is managed. Failure to carry out risk assessments - punishable by law - is often due to lack of a suitable risk assessment system. \"Tolley's Risk Assessment Workbook - Manufacturing\" provides that system, both in the form of key background information on how to carry out a risk assessment - understanding relevant legislation and regulations - but most importantly by providing: Checklists - highlighting key industry-specific hazards and control measures; Questionnaires - highlighting key questions the risk assessor should ask when analysing the risk posed by the hazard; and, Action Plans - to ensure the risk assessment is followed up and completed. The workbook offers a practical risk assessment system. It shows you how to comply with the law and gives you the foundations of a logical procedure that can be understood easily, put into placed quickly where necessary and adapted to your organisation's needs. \"Tolley's Risk Assessment Workbooks\" is a series of practical workbooks providing you with all the information you need to conduct risk assessments in industry-specific areas including: Manufacturing, Retail, Leisure, Education, Construction, and Utilities. A special \"Risk Assessment Workbook on Stress\" has also been developed in order to facilitate management of this issue which is of key concern to all organisations. This book provides a practical risk assessment system. It shows how to comply with the law. It includes checklists, questionnaires and action plans.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51359657722129,"sku":"GOR004733882","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/B01E1TLH02.jpg?v=1750914158"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-edward-hines.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
