This book begun as a training guide for students of CKFA Kung Fu and Floating Monk Qigong. It also provided training tips about: the best times of day to practice, what direction to face, advice about eating, drinking, clothing, temperature, weather, and much more. The booklet I envisioned became this larger book which provides a history of our Art, Philosophy and the Amazing Masters. The original idea proved very useful, so all of our Workshops and Training Programs now include program specific training guides. We at Floating Monk hope that you will enjoy this book about our System, Floating Monk Qigong, the Amazing Masters, and True Stories from both recent times and long ago - detailing the amazing benefits which some Qigong practitioners have experienced.
