Download or read book Walking on Pins and Needles written by Arlene K. Faulk and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tai Chi is not about trying harder; it’s about letting go, being in the moment, feeling balance, and the fluidity of energy. When you’ve been voted as “most likely to succeed” as a senior in high school with a bright future ahead, you set challenging goals and move forward to fulfill expectations. And as far as Arlene Faulk—accomplished businesswoman, storyteller, and Tai Chi instructor—knew, multiple sclerosis wasn’t going to get in her way. At the age of 22, in the middle of working the busiest shopping day of the year, Arlene loses all feeling in her body from the waist down. Her mobility returns but she’s given no diagnosis, and one question pervades her thoughts: What is happening to my body? In this moving and illuminating memoir of one woman’s years-long struggle to understand and conceal her debilitating symptoms as she ascends the corporate ladder in a major airline comes a story of perseverance, rediscovery, and hope in light of multiple sclerosis. As she jumps into the unknown, Faulk finds comfort and healing through Chinese medicine and Tai Chi. Her inspiring story demonstrates how a chronic and debilitating health condition lacks the power to control our lives and stop us from moving in the direction of possibility.
Download or read book Stickman Tai Chi 24 Movement Form written by Kathy Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tai Chi originated in China thousands of years ago. Originally it was created as a martial art by the Shaolin monks to protect them and their temple from invaders.In today's world, Tai Chi is better known as a gentle type of exercise, although there are reminders of its martial art roots in the advanced Forms that use weapons and in partner Forms. (A Tai Chi Form is a choreographed series of movements.) The most common Form for beginning students first learning Tai Chi is the 24 Movement Form. This basic Form contains the foundational movements that are in all other Forms, including the weapons and partner Forms. There is much to learn about Tai Chi and many levels of knowledge before a student may move on to more advanced levels and Forms. This Stickman 24 Movement Form is the beginning. Although Tai Chi looks easy and simple, it is quite complex and can be quite difficult to learn. In a light-hearted manner, this Stickman 24 Movement Form ebook teaches in the simplest manner the basics of beginning Tai Chi. It is designed to be as simple as possible in order to make learning easy for the beginning student with their first experience of Tai Chi while still offering deeper learning, such as: -Yin and Yang legs - turning on the hip track - the martial art applications Unlike other "how-to" Tai chi books with grainy black and white photos, in this Stickman Tai Chi 24 Form ebook, the images clearly illustrate each step of the movements. The accompanying text descriptions are clear, complete, and concise. Subjects covered include: -Muscle memory - what it is and how to use it to your benefit -Foot positions and proper stances -Tai Chi stepping and stances -The hands and fists of Tai Chi -Commencement and Conclusion movements -Tai Chi terminology -A body position checklist to use each time you begin the Form IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to note here that optimally you should learn any Form of Tai Chi with a teacher, and especially when you're just beginning to learn Tai Chi. Books and DVDs are wonderful as support for learning Tai Chi forms from an instructor, but they are not a substitute for live classes and workshops with a teacher. This book was created as a very basic introduction to Tai Chi and to support the in-person teaching during an on-going class taught by a Tai Chi Master. There are many reasons why attending a live class is optimum, the most important of which is that an instructor can spot how you may be incorrectly performing a movement. It's far easier and much wiser to learn the movements correctly the first time.
Download or read book Martial Arts Studies written by Paul Bowman and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-04-09 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phrase “martial arts studies” is increasingly circulating as a term to describe a new field of interest. But many academic fields including history, philosophy, anthropology, and Area studies already engage with martial arts in their own particular way. Therefore, is there really such a thing as a unique field of martial arts studies? Martial Arts Studies is the first book to engage directly with these questions. It assesses the multiplicity and heterogeneity of possible approaches to martial arts studies, exploring orientations and limitations of existing approaches. It makes a case for constructing the field of martial arts studies in terms of key coordinates from post-structuralism, cultural studies, media studies, and post-colonialism. By using these anti-disciplinary approaches to disrupt the approaches of other disciplines, Martial Arts Studies proposes a field that both emerges out of and differs from its many disciplinary locations.
