Description

The empty force is one of the most difficult and revered Chinese martial arts that utilizes the mysterious power of chi, a circulating life force energy. This text reveals the secret of this extraordinary technique and explains how it can be used in both healing and martial arts, where masters use its power to defeat opponents without making physical contact.

Teachers seem to be looking for prepackaged sources that do a lot of the work for them. This series fits that criteria well....The versions of the story included were unknown and well presented.-Off the Loom
This series includes four books which explore four of the fairytales and myths that we take for granted....Not only are the stories fascinating, but despite their origins, each one will be familiar to everyone....The books are efficient in explaining where the stories come from and their mutations over time and land....These books are definitely an asset to multicultural literature and make the comprehension of other cultures that much more accessible.-Multicultural Education
