Editorial Reviews

Laid out in the same format as his previous books, Professor Zhang's book is easy to follow, precise in instruction, and packed with useful detail. The exercises are easy to grasp for beginners with the help of clear directions and excellent photographs, and for the more advanced practitioner, there is a wealth of information.

This latest publication on Professor Zhang Guangde's work is a comprehensive gem of information and my congratulations to all those who contributed to its creation. I have the highest regard for Professor Zhang and his work and wish the British medical authorities would adopt this established Chinese approach to health and longevity. Looking forward to my 88th year, I can vouch for and recommend this wonderful approach to health promotion, preservation and mindfulness.

Wow, what a fantastic book! The straightforward layout is ideal for newcomers, yet detailed enough to complement the more experienced. The instruction methodically guides the practitioner gently through the form, one step at a time. Clear, simple and instantly usable, this work is a valuable addition to any collection.
