Picked this book after a friend of mine kept on incessantly talking about it. A few pages on it and I realized why he liked it so much: the book starts with a nice story that introduces one in the 'lost teachings of this Art' in a simple yet very straight-forward way.

The Essence of Tai Chi Chi Kung : Health and Martial Arts (YMAA Publication Center Book Series, B014)

The Essence of Tai Chi Chi Kung : Health and Martial Arts (YMAA Publication Center Book Series, B014) by Yang Jwing Ming
Buy used from: $1.23

This book provides what so many books touch on, but never really go in-depth into. It provides a detailed viewpoint of the medical side of the martial arts from an Eastern viewpoint.

It talks about where Chi is generated, the medical benefits of stimulating Chi, uses, practice and so much more! The entire book is filled with page after page of knowledge. I have used this book to fill the holes in other books I've collected. I would highly recommend this book. It is very informative!

Chi Kung: Health and Martial Arts

Chi Kung: Health and Martial Arts by Yang Jwing-Ming
Buy used from: $8.50

Although this is not a large book, it is an excellent introduction to the practice of chi kung. It gives you a background of Chinese internal martial arts, buddhism, taoism, Shaolin temple and wudan mountain and then moves into the specific practice of chi kung. Jwing-Ming gives you advice on when and where to practice, breathing techniques, and specific exercises. This is all supplemented with drawings and pictures which are fairly easy to follow.
