Li Deyin Foreword by Siu-Fong Evans Tijqun is one of the most popular martial arts in China today. It is practised both as a competitive sport and as an exercise to strengthen the mind and body. Tijqun is an easy-to-use, fully-illustrated guide to the historical background, practical application, underlying principles and techniques of Tijqun. Written by one of China's most prominent teachers of Tijqun, this book is an excellent introduction to a martial art that improves balance, coordination, flexibility, muscle strength and cardiovascular health. Tijqun describes five forms in which Tijqun is practised today: the 81-Step Tijqun, the Simplified 24-Step Tijqun, the Competition 42-Step Tijqun, the Competition 42-Step Tij Sword, and the 32-Step Tij Sword. Each form is explained with instructive photographs, a numerical reference system for each exercise, and a DVD is also included, making it an excellent resource for students of martial arts, experienced practitioners or anyone interested in learning about Tijqun.
