Summary: Good Program
Comment: Good book for the novice. One of the better books out there, but you have to pay close attention to the instructions as the pictures are rather sparse.The chi kung section has some good exercises(some of which are part of the 8 peices of brocade which is so popular).Overall I like this book and is a good intro to the Wang style which makes it even more intersting.

Summary: Better with the video
Comment: I can understand other readers having problems with the photos. My copy of this book originally came with a video which shows all the forms and a complete workout. The music is really horrible and Carradine seems a bit smug at times but you actually see what is going on. Why is it on sale without the video? Has it been re-written to allow for the absence of this?

Summary: You can do a lot better
Comment: I was not able to learn this form from the text. Several of the movements are not depicted and described well enough, and there's no discussion of the transitions between movements, leaving it pretty much up to your imagination. The video that follows this goes too fast to be of use, at least to me. The chi kung movements he shows are a hodge podge, and are certainly the least interesting of any I've seen published. I'd prefer to see a full depiction of a complete system like 8 pieces of brocade, or tai chi chi kung etc. The only good thing I can say about this book is it got me interested in chi kung and tai chi. I would recommend The Way of Energy as a very good chi kung book. I'm still desperately searching for good tai chi books.
