[G. Michael Reynolds · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although the form of Xingyiquan practiced in this book is more like a cousin to the style I practice, there is still a lot of useful information in it, chief among that being a wonderful chapter of explanations from some of the most famous masters of the last two hundred years, including Guo Yun Shen and Sun Lu Tang. I wouldn't recommend it as a manual because, quite frankly, learning XYQ that way is impossible, but rather as a useful guide to those who have a proper teacher and are looking to understand the deeper concepts.

This is a short book. It contains some history and forms in step-by-step photos.
