Kung Fu Exercise Book

I'm currently reading Use Mind and not Force: A Taiji Memoir  by Patrick McGowan.

In it he mentions the Kung Fu Exercise Book by Michael Minick as an early inspiration and introduction to the Internal Arts.

I had to laugh because as a teenager in the 1970s this same book set me on my path and I diligently practised the exercises at home. I think I've still got the paperback edition stored away somewhere!

It's no longer in print but you can still obtain second hand copies on Amazon -
