Secrets of the Pelvis for Martial Arts: A Practical Guide for Improving Your Wujifa, Taiji, Xingyi, Bagua and Everyday Life

Many martial arts and qigong practices speak of the need to move from the center, to 'round the crotch', to open the Huiyin point, and to relax the waist and hips. Due to the "private" nature of this area of the body, there are few if any martial art teachers who publicly describe methods regarding how to achieve these results. And so the pelvic area (a.k.a. dan-tian or hara) remains the most difficult area of the body for many practitioners to understand, feel, relax, and open.

Essentially, this book is a tapestry of excerpts about the waist, hips and crotch. These excerpts are taken from martial arts, qigong, and other clinical books and articles about the pelvis that were written in both English and Chinese.

Woven with insights and practical tips from the author’s experience working this area of the body, this book echoes the fundamental internal martial art principles of relax, feel, and connect while providing a step-by-step guide to helping the practitioner develop understanding, feeling and relaxation in this key area of the body.

This is the first and only book dedicated to the topic of developing the pelvic area for the martial arts. You simply will not find this wealth of information, in one place, anywhere else!
