Warriors of Stillness by Jan Diepersloot
Breaking down the very essence of the ancient Chinese health practices for taijiquan, this book discusses techniques that teach movement from the center of the body and the ability of issuing the jing or explosive force. Also included is an exploration of the theory and practices of taijiquan as a contact sport, particularly its interactive training regimen used to perfect timing and responses that control the opponent s balance with as little force as necessary. This is the first volume of the Warriors of Stillness trilogy.
Jan Diepersloot has studied martial arts for nearly 25 years and is the author of The Tao of Yiquan. He is the founder of the Contra Costa Center for Healing and the Arts, where he teaches. He lives in Walnut Creek, California.
