Legend attributes the birth of martial arts and meditation to ancient Buddhists and Taoists in monasteries and enclaves thousands of years ago. These arts were then to be appropriated by the samurai and ninja, and mirrored in the esoteric arts of the elite warrior castes of all cultures. Whether or not this is true or given credence by the reader, it remains the case that the meditative and martial arts have much to offer the modern world today. The essays in this book seek to offer the practitioner or interested novice inspiration and information for their journey.

Martial arts, meditation, and Zen are hot topics in today's age. The compilation of essays here attempt to connect these practices and ideas together to elucidate their concepts for those not involved in such practices, and to augment the understanding of those who are. Although martial arts, as their very nature should be, are geared towards giving people a skill that will help protect themselves and their loved ones, the objective of such practices must adapt to these changing times and cater to the internal and spiritual element of the human being. Incorporating Zen philosophy and meditative practices, we experience a profound shift from our ordinary self- centered ego-mindset to a holistic meditative consciousness that not only transforms our own life, but enriches the lives of others.

It all started about 1500 years ago and then it stopped around the turn of the 20th century. So much knowledge was lost but it has been recovered. Some masters know the secrets and don't want to share, others share it willingly. But even then, some things need more explanation. This book reaches into science and gives the answers to what was mysticism. Science is being used to explain martial arts, meditation and even how eastern medicine works. It isn't the strange and exotic eastern medicine it once was, it's more mainstream now than ever. If you?re looking for answers, here is a great place to start!

The themes in this book—drawn from Chinese history, culture, and martial arts experience—are entwined in a fictional narrative to animate events envisaged to have occurred during the mid-eighteenth century. From the outset, a thin veil separates fact from fiction. Our story starts with a discovery. While conducting research at the Vatican Library on the Jesuit missions in China, two scholars find a folder of papers written in Chinese among documents belonging to Giuseppe Castiglione (1688–1766), a painter at the royal court in Beijing. The papers turn out to be written by a fellow court painter, Yang Mingbin (c. 1664–1765). Yang’s handwritten essays provide revelations vital for understanding the ingenuity of Chinese martial arts. Yang’s text is organized under sixty-four subheadings. The author elucidates theory and practice methods in a fashion unlike any other writings on this subject. This is a rare early text written during a transitional period for martial arts. It is the time when the Qing Dynasty (1644 to 1912) was at its peak of cultural splendor and expanding its borders by military expeditions. Cannons and smaller firearms show the Western influence, but traditional martial arts were ubiquitous in the village, province, and national levels. Master Yang offers fascinating reading on all aspects of the Chinese fighting traditions. He places great emphasis on the importance of the “martial arts family” and the role of secrecy in lethal arts. The arts are also adapted for health and entertainment. All reflect an infusion of philosophy and practices from Buddhism, Daoism, and Confucianism. How one thinks affects how one practices martial arts. Yang describes the qualities associated with different skill levels, from beginner to most advanced. As he does this, we learn secrets that set forth key ways for improving defensive and offensive applications. These topics include body alignment, coordination, spontaneity, naturalness, balance, distancing, relaxation, and power. The same principles apply to bare-hand and weapons practice, as well as martial arts for health. Yang’s learning methodology for studying martial arts can be useful in other areas, as in his work as a master painter at court.
