Folks, Don't Try This At Home...

This is Volume III of the Iron Shirt series. As far as I know, there is no Volume II unless you count a videotape Chia produced. Anyway, Volumes I and III belong in the library of any enthusiastic tai chi/chi gong practitioner. But the techniques in these volumes are dangerous. Read the books for the theory, learn what's been held back by teachers for hundreds of years, but do not try any of these exercises unless you are working one-on-one with a master teacher, preferably one with training in Asian medicine. Chi packing is very dangerous and it forms a central part of the practices in Volume I. Lifting weights with your genitals is equally dangerous, if not more so, and that's featured in Volume III. Some chi gong teachers shun these practices entirely as unnecessary and unhealthy. Others believe they are enormously beneficial if practiced correctly. If the books pique your interest, find a great teacher and work with him or her on this stuff. Otherwise, keep the barbells at the gym and the book for purely intellectual gratification.

Incredible amounts of information

This book is full of some of the best information on energetics around. I do not have the pleasure of practiceing any of the techniques, novice, but I love having the info on my mindfor when I get there. In other word enjoy in good health.

Excellent treatment of a heretofore secret Taoist practice

I found Mantak Chia's writing style and the many clear diagrams easy to follow. This is one of the few books written on this esoteric and heretofore secret Taoist practice. It is an excellent addition to the library of any serious student of Qigong.
