The Eight Pieces of Brocade Luis Lazaro Leo

This CHI KUNG (Qi Gong) system is one of the most popular in China, its purpose is to improve health and fitness through stretching and breathing. Following the guidelines of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In this book you will find the history of the system, the main theories for its correct practice, as well as a detailed explanation of the correct execution of each stretch both in images and with detailed descriptions. Something very novel and The result of a long investigation is the correlation of each of the brocades with its corresponding Ba Gua trigram, as well as its relationship with the extraordinary meridian that corresponds to it according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. At the end of the book you can find the 8 ancient poems from different times and places used to describe each of the brocades. The origin of this book is an ancient manuscript that fell into my hands a couple of years ago, in which its author explains that the purpose of which he will make a copy of the manuscript that he had used throughout his life for practice, was none other than helping others to know and benefit of this wonderful Chi Kung system. Following this example I have dedicated more than two years to study and research this wonderful system with the aim of providing a different book, where not only is it found how to execute each of the 8 brocades, but also providing a lot of more information about their theories as well as their history.
