"In Chinese martial arts it's always said that heaven and the human being must become one, so that everything comes together." - Luo De Xiu, "In Chinese martial arts it's always said that heaven and the human being must become one, so that everything comes together." - Luo De Xiu "I've wanted to get my hands on this book for some time now, and I've dog-eared page after page with insights and instruction for future review. O'Brien visited scores of instructors and whittled his compilation down to 16 interviews that are solid gold for students of the Chinese Martial Arts." -Dojo Rat
