A TOOTH FROM
THE TIGER'S MOUTH: How to Treat Your Injuries with Powerful Healing Secrets of the Great Chinese Warriors

For centuries, Chinese martial arts masters have kept their highly prized remedies for common but debilitating injuries as carefully guarded secrets, calling such precious and powerful knowledge, "a tooth from the tiger's mouth." Now, for the first time, these deeply effective methods are revealed to Westerners anxious to find alternative ways to treat the acute and chronic injuries experienced by any active person.

While many books outline the popular teachings of traditional Chinese medicine, only this one offers step-by-step instructions for treating injuries. The book explains the complete range of healing strategies and provides a Chinese first-aid kit to help the reader fully recover from every mishap - cuts, sprains, breaks, dislocations, bruises, muscle tears, tendonitis and much more. He teaches readers how to:

  • Examine and diagnose injuries
  • Prepare and apply herbal formulas
  • Assemble a portable kit for emergencies
  • Fully recuperate with strengthening exercises and healing dietary advice
  • Buy ingredients and preparations - both locally and on the Internet

Comprehensive and easy to follow, with 158 drawings to illustrate both the treatment strategies and the strengthening exercises, this one-of-a-kind guidebook will finally give readers complete access to the powerful healing secrets of the great Chinese warriors.

In this one-of-a-kind book, Master Gao Ji Wu discusses the important points of Ba Gua Zhang and presents forms and techniques from Beijing Gao Style Ba Gua Zhang.

Amazon.com Review:"There are a lot of books on Bagua, at least compared to a few years ago. This volume, written as a collaboration between Master Gao Ji Wu and Tom Bisio, is one of the best on the market. The pictures are large and clear (definitely a plus in a martial arts book). The background information is good, well written and avoids the strictly legendary. Bagua is a style like Taijiquan but even more sophisticated and this text gets you moving like a Bagua student without confusing you in the process. Definitely belongs in the library."
