The Art of Chi Kung: Making the Most
of Your Vital Energy by Wong Kiew
Kit
Communicative Approach To Genuine Kung Fu
Chi Kung is the Chinese art of developing energy. Today, Chi Kung is
becoming increasingly popular around the world as a means of stress
management, healing, and maintaining fitness.
In The Art of Chi Kung, fourth generation Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit
explores the principles and philosophy of Chi Kung, explaining its
beneficial effects, and then guides you through a series of Chi Kung
exercises which you can learn from and practice at home.
This is the most comprehensive study of Chi Kung available, and will
prove invaluable whether you are a beginner or already have some
understanding of this ancient art.
Personal Review: The Art of Chi Kung: Making the Most of Your
Vital Energy by Wong Kiew Kit
I have read a lot about Sifu Wong, and I have read a lot of what he has
written. There are many things that are said about him frequently that are
accurate: he is open and consistent about his teaching, realistic in his
criticism, honest to the point where it seems audacious, and he takes very
good care of his students. He is also obliged to be a combatant in the
often banal blogging forum on "what real Kung Fu is". I do not envy him.
But this brings me to what is perhaps his most significant contribution to
Kung Fu for Westerners especially, that is to say his being a link between
eastern and western understandings of Kung Fu and Chi Kung. There are
already few real masters but even fewer who have his communicative
ability or academic background. He is Asian with a western compatible
identity! In this book and others he is able to clearly describe to
Westerners his philosophy and approach to genuine Kung Fu and adapt it
in such a way that it can be realistically practiced by today's western
practitioners without comprimising the most important aspects of the
discipline. So we can take the benefits from our Chi Kung training, stop
feeling guilty about not being Shaolin monks, and avoid wasting time with
New Age or dance approaches to Chi Kung and its related arts (if that's
what we want to avoid...). I am what Sifu Wong would call a "competent
Tai Chi instructor". I am no master, but I have a Chinese master and I
teach as one of his disciples. It is wonderful to come across someone on
the open market who is so similar to my own Sifu. It is also surprising.
Best of wishes to you all.
