The Yang Taijiquan (Tai Chi) Short form of Zheng Man Qing Video and DVD
for Beginning and Intermediate Students
with Anne and Arieh Lev Breslow
Plus
The Qigong of Jou Tsung Hwa

This Tai Chi teaching video and DVD is dedicated to our teachers, Zheng Man Qing (Cheng Man Ch'ing) and his senior student, Benjamin Pang Jeng Lo. Zheng Man Qing created the Yang short form (37 postures) from the long form (128 postures) because he wanted to make Taiji (Tai Chi) easier for people to learn. He eliminated many of the repetitions in the long form while preserving its essence. The Professor, as he was affectionately called, was a true renaissance man. He was known as the master of five excellencies; doctor, artist, calligrapher, poet and master of Taijiquan. Although he passed away a few years before we began our studies, he has remained our guiding light through his teachings and his student, our teacher, Ben Lo.

The focus of 'The Tai Chi Falls Prevention Manual' is to help you:

'Beyond the Closed Door' explains in clear layman's terms how Tai Chi grew up as a unique child of Chinese culture. The book frames Chinese ideas in the context of Western thought, pointing out the differences as well as the similarities. 'Beyond the Closed Door' is not a how-to book for someone wishing to study the Tai Chi form. Rather it is an examination and an analysis of Tai Chi's multifaceted origins, its profound principles and its historical foundations.

In 'When Less is More' Arieh Breslow challenges the underlying health notions of our society -- that more of something is necessarily better. The book argues for adopting a sensible lifestyle known as the Middle Path and shows how this ancient philosophy, shared by such divergent thinkers as Confucius, Lao Tzu, Hypocrites, Moses Maimonides and Abraham Lincoln, is valid for us today. Then he guides the reader to his or her Middle Path through meditations, visualizations, exercise and common sense advice.

Detective Dave Washburn has had a bad day. During a botched robbery by members of the San Francisco Tong, three people were murdered and his partner wounded. It seemed that things couldn't get any worse until he met his ex-wife who blamed him for their son's death and their failed marriage. But Washburn's luck is about to change. His belief system will be turned upside down and he will be swept away on the wings of dragons.

"This is the first fiction book I've found that manages to combine a murder mystery and the realm of Chinese arts so successfully. An excellent read!" -- Karen Limb, Review for 'Tai Chi Chuan and Internal Arts Magazine'

"The novel is very well written, with intriguing characters and strong, believable dialogue. You will keep turning the pages, and maybe fantasizing even after the last page is closed."  --Dvora Waysman, Review for 'the Jerusalem Post'

"The novel is a murder mystery/detective thriller with the excitement and quick pace of the genre, yet it has a message beyond the drama. 'On the Wings of Dragons' makes you wonder about your own immortality." --Reviewed by Miriam Kates Lock
