Meredith\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe commanding heights of genius in any field seem remote, but it is written: \u003ci\u003eWhat man has done, man can do\u003c\/i\u003e. THE AIKI SINGULARITY is an analytical probe into the common foundation of internal power conditioning that connects the unearthly martial skills of peerless Japanese martial arts phenomenon Sagawa Yukiyoshi (1902-1998) to the legendary internal masters of 19th century China. THE AIKI SINGULARITY deconstructs and reassembles the hidden energy that unites all internal martial arts training, and teaches radically simple experiential methods for understanding and maximizing the universal power. Key movements and essential insights from Tai Chi, Xing Yi, Daito Ryu Aiki-Jujutsu and other arts are assembled into three exceptionally effective regimens of internal conditioning. Each regimen consists of a primary drill and a cluster of related supplemental extensions that deepen and massively intensify the energy experience of each. The work is supported by voluminous references to the writings and teachings of legendary old-time masters of the internal arts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Is this an 'advanced' book? Yes and No. Yes - in the simple sense that some terminology from prior works is used - though everything is explained as needed here too. No - in the most important sense that you can do every drill in this book without any background in other materials, in fact, without any background in energy martial arts at all. The drills are profound in their effects but extremely simple, safe, and pleasant to perform. There are no long sequences of memorized movements, and the drills do not require a large practice space, a long time commitment, or any special equipment and clothing. They can be performed by anybody of any degree of athletic ability - including none whatsoever. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e But despite their simplicity and ease, they will develop your internal energy fundamentals more deeply, strongly and quickly than many full systems that require decades of expensive, onerous drudgery. This book will be a revelation for students of Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Aikido, or Kung Fu and for anybody else who is seeking an adventure of inner exploration and power enhancement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Table of Contents \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe ARC Model\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe AIKI Enigma\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe AIKI Training Condition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe ARC Drills\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eACCUMULATE Core Drill: Relaxation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSantishi Inner Activation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHips\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Forward Arm Flow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHip Check\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eREBOUND Core Drill: Grounding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCat Step Shiko (A) - Work Stages\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCat Step Shiko (A) - Energetic Experience\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCat Step Shiko (B) - Preliminaries\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCat Step Shiko (B) - Method\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCat Step Shiko (B) - Energetics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Daling Throttle Grip\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eForearm Pressure Mode\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Short Fist Wave\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh Foot Raise\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAngled Leg Extension\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFriction Step Shiko\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTai Chi\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eQuiet Standing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOpening Raise Hands\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStepping Turn\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRepulse Monkey\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe AIKI Singularity\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCATCH Core Drill: Extension\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBengquan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExternal Mechanics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnergetics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFist Closing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFist Angling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eArrow Concept\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBengquan Wheel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNULLIFICATION\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDefensive Nullification\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffensive Nullification\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eComeback Nullification\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConclusion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAPPENDIX A: Jade Pillow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAPPENDIX B: Tai Chi Mahamudra\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBibliography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 154\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.33 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 17, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428464869554,"sku":"9781541122314","price":17.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/bfc1bb8c0028a8c68aad3fa04786611f.webp?v=1778538946","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/the-aiki-singularity-transformative-power-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
