The world of TaijiQuan changed in the 1980s with the opening up of mainland China. Two barely known themes fundamental to the training began to emerge: ZhanZhuang, the standing qigong, and Chansigong, the technique of twining silk. This book documents an old-timer's plunge into this new world.

Recensione

Kinthissa's book offers a rare, and much needed, glimpse into a rigorous internal practice, a way of being aware of the body's inner landscape and the micro-movement that is the foundation of all movement. Through the pages of her book, Kinthissa guides the reader with patience and precision as she speaks about the most intimate and fundamental nature of the body, with the love and respect that comes from exhaustive involvement with its inner workings through meticulous observation.

We can follow step by step her thought processes as she tracks events and impressions throughout the daily-ness of her practice. Her writing is filled with beautifully articulate accounts of inner movement. Her use of image and metaphor gives elusive states an understandable materiality.

--Dance Research, the Journal of the Society for Dance Research, Edinburgh, Vol.28, No.2, November 2010

Descrizione libreria

Originally started as an amateur venture, Seagull Books has grown into a knowledgable and reputable on-line book vendor. Our inventory is growing all the time, and we are constantly updating our stock with the latest finds. Whilst we do not currently offer a book tracing service, we are always happy to hear from customers looking for a particular title, and may just be able to help. We specialise in out-of-print books - particularly paperbacks - and never cease to be amazed at what is no longer considered worth publishing! Many of our customers clearly share that view.
