Testimonials
"Healing Dachengquan is a great book, having
contributed to its translation of this book, it was fascinating to
understand the roots of post standing through deep explanations of
"Entering Stillness" and "relative relaxation" levels. As I
am personally interested in the Yiquan therapeutic effects, I found a
lot of answers. Thanks for Li Zhaoshan to present this knowledge to a
wider circle of practitioner.

"Thank you to offer me this Beta version of
Healing Dachengquan. From my point of view, any practitioner of Martial
Arts should have a minimum understanding of Traditional Medicine, and I
find in this ebook a lot of information that answer to my personal
research (yoga, meditation, Yiquan, Taichi and Therapeutic Massage) all
combined perfectly and giving me more insight about Chinese Traditional
Medicine. Nice video of Jianwu: this counterbalance the
BW pictures. I am sure that you'll love it."
