Rumsoakedfistians,
I present to you a new book for your Amazon wish list: A Study of Tai and Tuo Xing by Glen Board.
Tai and Tuo (Asian paradise flycatcher and Chinese crocodile) are two of Xingyi’s 12 animals. They’re considered advanced in the sense that the methods they use are difficult and subtle. The book is a thorough investigation of the fighting strategies and methods of both animals.
"The book covers the history, fighting methods and auxiliary concepts/methods which are rarely presented in books on Xing Yi. The book contains over 500 b/w photo's showing both the applications and potential linking sequences for both Tai and Tuo Xing."
I’ve had access to a pre-final draft and I think it’s shaping up to be an excellent book. The illustrations are great, there’s plenty of historical background on Xingyi as well as technical discussion. The book also features good quality photographs showing martial applications and linking sequences for both animals. All in all, it looks great.
Look out for it soon. It should be available to pre-order in the next few days on Amazon.
