Mention martial arts and the image of Oriental warriors locked in hand-to-hand combat almost certainly springs to mind. But the real reason most of these systems were originally invented was not for fighting, nor even for self-defence, but for total spiritual and philosophical self-development and as a means of bringing mind, body and spirit together to operate in perfect harmony.
 
The philosophy, physical and spiritual benefits of Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Qigong have played a huge part in the author's own personal journey and are therefore an integral part of the holistic system he now deploys in his work at Phoenix Coaching & Therapy to bring about a deep sense of wellness in clients.
 
This book, which forms part of the Phoenix Personal Development Series, will introduce you to the many and varied different styles of martial arts available to choose from and their benefits to mind, body and spirit.
