Book of the Day - The Roots of Chinese Qigong
Today’s Book of the Day is The Roots of Chinese Qigong: Secrets of Health, Longevity, & Enlightenment, written by Yang Jwing-Ming in 1997 and published by YMAA. Dr. Yang Jwing-Ming is a world-famous author and teacher of Chinese martial arts.

Still learning #taichi but nearing the end of part three. So excited by this progress! #ymaa #indexcards https://www.instagram.com/p/CmNgD_6Oi6VRMeAegkLZExQ9t2-_SLXpiuuvPA0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Occasionally someone asks, "What's the point of competing in Kung Fu tournaments?" Well, it might just land you a role in a major Hollywood motion picture. But not just any movie, this is the worldwide launch of a potentially massive film franchise, based
So, YMAA, Yang’s Martial Arts Association, is something I’ve kept my eye on, even if just in a very superficial, cursory way, for a number of years now. I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it on here before, but I’m very interested in martial arts, specifically Chinese internal martial arts (taijiquan--most people know it as tai chi, baguazhang, and to a lesser extent xingyiquan). I started learning taijiquan in 2010, but I haven’t really been practicing for the past 2-3 years, though I go through the basic form I know from time to time and would really like to get back into it.
Some of the first books and videos about taijiquan, and internal martial arts practices in general, that I came across and read/watched were by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming, who founded YMAA. I’ve always been really impressed with the depth of his knowledge as presented in his books and videos, and even more so with his dedication to preserving traditional Chinese martial arts and culture for future generations. One of the things he’s done is to set up an actual, full-blown martial arts retreat center in the forest in California, where he takes on a handful of dedicated students for very intensive, full-time training programs focusing on both external martial arts (e.g., shaolin kung fu) and internal martial arts. I believe there are currently three in progress--one lasting ten (yes, TEN!) years, one lasting five years, and one--which focuses specifically on taijiquan--lasting three years.
So, it’s incredibly neat and awesome and cool to me that one of his students at this retreat center has landed this role (she plays a character called Lin; ironically, Lin is also her last name).
