Chi Kung is the Chinese art of developing energy. Today, Chi Kung is becoming increasingly popular around the world as a means of stress management, healing, and maintaining fitness.
In The Art of Chi Kung, fourth generation Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit explores the principles and philosophy of Chi Kung, explaining its beneficial effects, and then guides you through a series of Chi Kung exercises which you can learn from and practice at home.
This is the most comprehensive study of Chi Kung available, and will prove invaluable whether you are a beginner or already have some understanding of this ancient art.

Summary: Communicative approach to Genuine Kung Fu
Comment: I have read a lot about Sifu Wong, and I have read a lot of what he has written. There are many things that are said about him frequently that are accurate: he is open and consistent about his teaching, realistic in his criticism, honest to the point where it seems audacious, and he takes very good care of his students. He is also obliged to be a combatant in the often banal blogging forum on "what real Kung Fu is". I do not envy him. But this brings me to what is perhaps his most significant contribution to Kung Fu for Westerners especially, that is to say his being a link between eastern and western understandings of Kung Fu and Chi Kung. There are already few real masters but even fewer who have his communicative ability or academic background. He is Asian with a western compatible identity! In this book and others he is able to clearly describe to Westerners his philosophy and approach to genuine Kung Fu and adapt it in such a way that it can be realistically practiced by today's western practitioners without comprimising the most important aspects of the discipline. So we can take the benefits from our Chi Kung training, stop feeling guilty about not being Shaolin monks, and avoid wasting time with New Age or dance approaches to Chi Kung and its related arts (if that's what we want to avoid...). I am what Sifu Wong would call a "competent Tai Chi instructor". I am no master, but I have a Chinese master and I teach as one of his disciples. It is wonderful to come across someone on the open market who is so similar to my own Sifu. It is also surprising. Best of wishes to you all.

Summary: A patient novice
Comment: The idea of learning Chi Kung came to me as a result of many synchronistic events. Not being able to find a teacher, I chose "The Art of Chi Kung" because of the word "art". Not usually a patient person, I find myself moving slowly and purposefully through this book. I am on Chapter Seven and quite content to practice the three novice movements that are clearly explained up to this point. I appreciate the background information, diagrams,and encouragement Wong Kiew Kit provides. I look forward to reading, learning and growing in the art of chi kung as outlined in this valuable book.
