The books starts with a short introduction to the history of Muslim versions of Kung Fu. Next is a section on Wang ZiPing then on Zhang WenGuang. This is followed by three sets and an exercise section illustrated. The first, simply titled Zha (Cha) boxing is in reality a version of Road #4. The next is a 10 road Tan Tui (Spring leg). Third follows a 20 exercise section developed by Wang ZiPing himself. Finally there is Yong ZhanQuan of "Boxing for the Brave" which is composed of kicks, strikes and grabs and has some simple applications thrown in for good measure.<BR/><BR/>I've developed a form done in Water, Aqua Ch'i, and we do a Guolin Anticancer walk, followed by 5 Natural Path Daoist and Buddhist moves, a Judaic form, and completed with a Sufi meditation - including a chant (sound healing) and zikkhr (twirling, whirling) lots of fun done in water.<BR/><BR/>So I'd be interested to find out more about what you learn.<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/><BR/>well-being@pacbell.netAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
