"To learn the forms for fighting is easy. It is possible for everyone to do that in two or three months. To achieve serenity, however, to achieve endurance, this is difficult. One can always open the cage and let a tiger out, but it is in its containment that is TAO. Everyone in the position of Sifu, Sensei or teacher should always remember this. It is not just the fighting that is important, for anyone can learn to fight, it is the pursuit of TAO that distinguishes the true martial artist." -Master Hsu Hong Chi (1975)

This book is a compilation of the principles of Hsing-I that was learned from Master Hsu and is the classic text on the subject.

-I have had the pleasure to know John and Janet Price for almost ten years now. When John first came to my East Earth Trade Winds store I realized right away that he had some extraordinary knowledge of martial arts and Chinese herbal medicine that few people had. As I got to know them better I realized that John and Janet were taught, and have shared with their many students, pure and authentic kung-fu. If you are a serious practitioner of Hsing-I or any martial art you will appreciate and find this a valuable addition to your collection of martial art books.  -Michel Czehatowski, owner, East Earth Trade Winds (10/24/07)
