There is nothing more stressful than the threat of physical violence. As somebody who has taught many hundreds of people how to stay relaxed under extreme pressure tai chi and kung fu master Paul Chapman uses ancient Chinese techniqes to relax. These skills go deeply into the ways we walk, move, stand, sit and breathe and help us learn to do these things in a healthier way. The results are dramatic.

If you aren't in control of your mind and body then you are open to being controlled by other people or events around you.

This is so important to understand. The more control you have over yourself, your mind, body, breath, energy and anxiety levels, emotions etc the more power you have. This book is an introduction to giving you that power and helping you understand it.
