Riassunto:
Every once in a while you find a high impact book. Something that awakens something deep within and lasts forever. This is the one. It is a book that you can pick up time and time again and always gets something new out of it, or something deeper than you. Cheng Hsin is the best introduction for beginners to the internal practice of fighting. It is a seminal work that draws on T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Aikido, and Pa Kua Chang and was written by the first Westerner ever to win the world championship in a full-contact martial arts tournament.

It has completely changed my thinking about my own art, Aikido. Every time I read the book, it opens up entirely new areas of inquiry, possibility, and realization." ~John Stone, Aikido in America. "How many of us wished we had met Bruce Lee, sat in a session with Carl Jung, or walked around Walden Pond with Henry David Thoreau? Too late for that, but not too late to take notice of Peter Ralston. His creativity, commitment, and clarity shine through his teachings as he articulates higher principles based on direct experience and piercing insight. A superlative martial artist and caring teacher, he has been to the mountaintop and bathed in the underground spring of Being. His insights speak to us all." ~Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior. "What Peter Ralston does remarkably well is to clarify what the classics have been trying to tell us, and to offer concrete directions on how to continue growing and become better in the internal arts . You can't fix Cheng Hsin on the wall with a pin, because, as you try, you realize that Cheng Hsin is the wall, and the pin, and the action, and the intent". ~ Tai Chi Journal. Peter Ralston was raised in Asia and began studying martial arts at the age of nine. By the age of nineteen he was a black belt in Judo and Jujitsu (Nidan), black belt in Karate (Shodan), had been Sumo champion at his high school in Japan, Judo and fencing champion at the University of California at Berkeley, and had demonstrated proficiency in Kempo, Ch'uan Fa, and Northern Sil Lum Kung Fu. Later he studied T'ai Chi Ch'uan, Hsing I Ch'uan, Pa Kua Chang, Aikido, Japanese and Chinese fencing, and western boxing. Consistent with his Zen studies, his investigation into martial arts came to include a questioning of reality. In 1975 Ralston founded the Cheng Hsin School of Internal Martial Arts and Center for Ontological Research which operated for twenty years in Oakland, California. In 1978 he became the first non~Asian ever to win the World Championship full~contact martial arts tournament held in the Republic of China. He currently teaches workshops and training seminars all over the world. Codice articolo 3102102
