These strikes are the culmination of precise movement, impeccable timing, exact contact calibration and extraordinary emotional clarity. This is the meaning of "Hit Different". In STRIKES: Soul Meets Body, chief Systema instructor Vladimir Vasiliev reveals the physical and psychological training regimen that underlies this unprecedented martial arts capability, rooted in centuries of Russian combative and spiritual tradition.

Tai Chi PENG Root Power Rising describes the theory and practice of the most characteristic internal energy of the universally popular Chinese Tai Chi Chuan martial art. A full set of practical exercises is presented and illustrated, and the original Chinese source texts that define PENG energy are accompanied by new translations and analysis.

SURGE offers a wealth of tricks and tips for harnessing Tai Chi as a powerful internal energy practice, focusing on the Zheng Manqing 37-Step Simplified Tai Chi method. While primarily aimed at those familiar with the ZMQ method or other Tai Chi systems, its insights on internal power development will also appeal to beginners or casual readers interested in Tai Chi. The content includes a preface, fable, introduction, and detailed sections on Tai Chi structure, principles, relaxation, and various protocols like the Cat-Step and Counter-Sink. It is important to note that SURGE is not a comprehensive tutorial or photo-sequence guide for the ZMQ method; it does not provide visual references for poses and should be viewed as a supplement to Tai Chi studies. The book serves as a repository of profound internal training insights applicable to any Tai Chi practice. It is positioned alongside other works, with SURGE acting as an owner's manual. Additionally, it will complement a future DVD release, "Tai Chi GROUND." Readers are encouraged to research reviews of previous books before purchasing, as the approach is considered radical and may not resonate with everyone. If doubts remain, it’s advisable to err on the side of caution.
