Bagua Daoyin
By: Jinghan, He; Alexander, David (trans.)
Published by: Singing Dragon
Bagua Daoyin emphasizes the perception and training of muscles (jin), bones (gu) and skin (pi), and combines elements of fitness, martial arts and medical science in order to promote harmony and balance in the body and mind. Master He, a fifth generation practitioner of the BaguaQuan line, sets out a programme of study underpinned by theory. He explains the development of Bagua Daoyin from a refinement of Daoist studies into a method of training the body and mind in which every external movement is echoed in the inner tissue of the body. Bagua Daoyin opens up the joints of the body and relaxes the muscles, encouraging an awareness of the body and posture at all times. With simple body movements, one can channel the hidden flow of Qi, or energy, and blood, giving a new lease of life to zones of the body that have lost their vitality and promoting a sense of tranquillity. This fully illustrated guide to Bagua Daoyin will be essential reading for Bagua and Tai Chi practitioners at all levels, students of martial arts and anyone interested in Chinese culture.

Bushi-jutsu: The Science of the Warrior
By: Westwood, Darren; Paskin, Andrew
Published by: Summersdale Publishers Ltd
"Bushi-Jutsu – The Science of the Warrior" attempts to bridge the gap between the kata of old Okinawa, following the influence of the feudal Japanese militia and that which is taught in today’s dojo as ‘effective’ self-defence.
The distressing reality, for most kata bunkai students, is that there is very little ‘real’ application in the world today, outside Japan. That which is taught as ‘bunkai’ tends to be Monkey See – Monkey Do – very few really understand the highly technical and effective nature of this ‘secret’ part of karate.
This book by Andy Paskin and Darren Westwood doesn’t just uncover the brutal nature of karate kata application – it literally rips the shroud of secrecy from around it and cleaves the mystery from it.
The book takes a pragmatic, sometimes controversial and always brutally honest look at modern karate as it is and as it was meant to be.

The book unveils rich layers of the wuxia tradition as it developed in the early Shanghai cinema in the late 1920s, and from the 1950s onwards, in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industries.
