{"product_id":"tai-chi-surge-radical-zmq-energetics-9781506119557","title":"Tai Chi SURGE: Radical ZMQ Energetics","description":"SURGE is packed with tricks and tips for turning Tai Chi into the engine of internal power mastery it was originally meant to be. While centered on the Zheng Manqing 37-Step Simplified Tai Chi method, the insights and practices for internal power development can be adapted to other methods. The book is geared to those who've learned or are learning the ZMQ method or another Tai Chi system, but its insights on Tai Chi internal power will also be enlightening and inspiring for beginners or the casual reader who's merely 'Tai-curious'. \u003cbr\u003e Beyond Tai Chi, SURGE will be of interest to any martial artist or healer who is involved with development or application of the body's intrinsic non-material energies. \u003cbr\u003e Contents \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFable\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTai Chi Structure Principles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eA Further Note on Relaxation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Cat-Step Protocol\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCat-Step Imagery\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCat-Step: Left Wardoff Example\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Counter-Sink Protocol\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCounter-Sink: Left Wardoff Example\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDuration\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to Work It\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBarriers, Hangups, Impediments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePose Notes (The ZMQ37 Form)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBread Sandwich Tai Chi\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdvanced Work\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Big Picture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRefund Policy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e SURGE is emphatically \u003cstrong\u003enot\u003c\/strong\u003e a full photo-sequence paint-by-numbers introduction to the entire method. Although the internal development requirements for every pose in the ZMQ sequence are fully described, visual references for each pose are not included. SURGE is not adequate for, and not intended as, a step-by-step tutorial on the mechanics of the system. You cannot learn the ZMQ method from this book. It is intended as a supplement to your Tai Chi study. Please take this advisory very seriously - you'll sound ridiculous if you later complain: \"I couldn't learn the Tai Chi form from this book \" \u003cbr\u003e It's a repository of profound internal training insights that you can apply to the Tai Chi that you've learned elsewhere. \u003cbr\u003e If you're wondering where this book fits with my other books on Tai Chi, here's how they relate: JUICE is a love letter; PENG is a travel guide; SURGE is the owner's manual. \u003cbr\u003e SURGE will also be useful as companion notes for my future DVD release 'Tai Chi GROUND' (expected in 2015) which demonstrates and teaches every ZMQ37 pose and all the inter-pose transitions, under this same internal cultivation framework. \u003cbr\u003e I really don't want dissatisfied customers, and I'm sure you'd rather not waste your money and then your time, venting your angry spleen all over the internet. Fortunately I have a track record and before clicking to buy this, I request that you do some research by reading all the reviews of all my other books. Read the cheers and the jeers, the lovers and the haters, all of it, before deciding to buy. Though embedded rock-solid in the philosophy of the Tai Chi Classic Writings, nevertheless the title says it best: my approach is RADICAL, and it seriously baffles and bothers many people. If, after doing full diligence, you're left with any doubts whatsoever, that's the universe giving you thumbs-down, telling you this material isn't for you, so err on the side of caution and save your money.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4974819\"\u003eJeremy Ray\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-231457\"\u003eScott Meredith\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.35d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506119557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1506119557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-SPO\"\u003eSports \u0026amp; Recreation\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-SPO027000\"\u003eMartial Arts \u0026amp; Self-Defense\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44433203003629,"sku":"9781506119557","price":18.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/8097\/6621\/products\/img_ed34b824-38be-4d12-a598-ed77a091f18a.jpg?v=1700059815","url":"https:\/\/sureshotbooks.com\/products\/tai-chi-surge-radical-zmq-energetics-9781506119557","provider":"SureShot Books Publishing LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
