Ric Meyers of INSIDE KUNG-FU magazine says:
For any serious student of Taijiquan, Rick Barrett’s name should be familiar. He’s a senior student of Grandmaster William C. C. Chen and also studies Chen Style Taijiquan and Xingyiquan with Master Yang, Fukui. As a push hands competitor, Rick dominated his weight division in the late 1990’s, becoming middleweight national champion and US Kuoshu Champion in the unlimited division. Since retiring from active competition, he is well known for his workshops around the country, and has already written a couple of articles for Inside Kung Fu. But this is his first book, and it’s worth the wait.
Written specifically for the Western practitioner, the book blends modern science and philosophy with traditional wisdom drawn from classic literature. But it also goes several steps further, revealing and exploring effortless power revelations that may be uniquely Barrett’s own … little things like whole-body energetic connection, energetic coherence, and instant meditation, among other things. Daunting? Not really. Not with Barrett’s decades of teaching and accessible writing showing you the way.
