“YMAA Publication Center was established so that Westerners
could access the profound Oriental developments in Qi,
Martial Arts, and Spiritual Cultivation. As one of the pioneers
in this exchange, YMAA will continue to mark the path
uu
between East and West. It is our hope that this path will help
lead to a new, benevolent society.”
– Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming
uu
About 25 Years Ago: Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming had completed fifteen months
of part-time operation of Yang’s Martial Arts Academy, and was planning
for YMAA Publication Center. With four published books and a letter of
resignation from an engineering career, he went to full-time teaching and
launched YMAA Publication Center.
uu
Moving from a small second-floor studio to a stand-alone building in
Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, YMAA and its affiliations flourished. The
Publication Center eventually relocated to its own nearby facility.
A few years ago YMAA Publication Center, Inc. relocated to New Hampshire, Dr. Yang began
uu
his non-profit YMAA California Retreat Center, and Nicholas C. Yang was appointed President
of YMAA International.
Our solid foundation and strong root assure me that the next twenty-five years of YMAA and its
affiliations will be as exciting and productive as the past. Congratulations to all YMAA family,
friends, and supporters.

Wudang Taijiquan

Martial Applications

and Senior YMAA Students
Learn the Mysterious Art of Wudang Taiji

Beautiful Wudang Mountain is the world’s largest
Daoist center, dating back 2,000 years. It spans 321
square kilometers with 72 peaks, dozens of archi-
tectural masterpieces, many lakes, rivers, and a for-
est which still sustains over 600 known medicinal
herbs. Daoism is an ancient Chinese philosophy
that teaches its practitioners to live a peaceful,
refined life in harmony with nature. Centuries ago,
Daoist philosophy, such as yin/yang theory, was
adopted into the martial arts trained by the monks
of the Wudang monasteries, and Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) was created.
Taijiquan, or ‘Grand Ultimate Fist,’ combines the internal skills of yang
sheng (life nourishing) with ancient fighting techniques. Practiced
slowly, Taijiquan is a set of gentle, flowing movements which promotes
exceptional health and well-being. Taijiquan emphasizes the develop-
ment of a strong root, proper body alignment, efficient movement, and
a calm and relaxed mind and body. The application of Taijiquan reveals
it is an effective martial art specializing in using softness to overcome
hardness, uprooting the opponent, redirecting incoming force, and
DEC 09
striking vital points.
This program discusses the history of Wudang Taijiquan, offers a
Warm Up section, and teaches the essential skill of Zhan-Zhuang, or
standing meditation, which develops the Qi (energy) throughout your
body. The complete 108-posture Wudang Taijiquan sequence is
demonstrated in its entirety, and instructed piece by piece, with mar-
tial applications. Each technique is taught and demonstrated in detail,
making it easy for the viewer to learn.
The ancient art of Wudang Taijiquan has much wisdom to offer begin-
ners and experienced Tai Chi practitioners of all styles.

(2-DVD Set)
Performances by Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming

Chin Na (Qin Na) is the art of seizing and control-

Chin Na specializes in the use of joint locks, cavity
press, bone misplacement, muscle grabbing, and
artery sealing. In traditional Chinese martial arts
like Taiji, neutralization is usually done with a cir-
cular motion, and the opponent will be controlled
before he realizes that a technique is being applied.

For the six months following his fiery showdown

with South Florida’s Russian mob boss, celebrated
neurosurgeon and secret vigilante Dr. Xenon Pearl

secret hidden. Suspended from surgical work by a
boss who won’t tolerate his loner style, “Zee” spends
his nights pining for the wisdom of his dead teacher,
and his days caring for his crippled girlfriend, victim
of a horrific attack.
When a multi-car accident occurs on the road in
front of him, he finds himself with a scalpel in hand

out to find out more about the teachings that made
him what he is by seeking a new teacher. The journey

Fiction through
the eyes of
martial artists
”Here’s what you need to under-
stand about cutting. It’s not about
violence, it’s about facilitation; it’s
not about imposing your will on
something, it’s about helping
molecules spontaneously divide.
When you do this right, you’re
working at the level of atomic
bonds. It’s quantum; see? Your
intention affects your target
through the medium of your
sword, and encourages the bonds
to surrender. Maybe it’s the
carbon we share with steel that
makes it such a good transmitter.
Maybe that’s why a good sword,
the right sword, feels special to
us. Anyway, it doesn’t matter how
it works; it just matters that it
does. Without intention, cutting
is more difficult because you’re
using sheer power; with intention,
every cut is a seduction.”

MARTIAL WAY AND ITS VIRTUES—Tao De Gung

F. J. Chu
While the martial arts revolve around the way of personal combat, it
also demands that its adherents live in accordance with a certain war-
rior code of conduct and honor. The martial way promises a long and
arduous journey. It is an invitation to the subordination of self, the
endurance of sustained practice, and the cultivation of the body and
mind, with no tolerance for self-indulgences of any kind. Martial arts
without compassion and honor promises only violence. Stripped of its
spirituality, it threatens injury and suffering to both its victims and its
practitioners. In the end, this higher ideal is what separates the warrior
from the predator.

THE WAY OF SANCHIN KATA—The Application of Power

Kris Wilder
When Karate or “Ti” was first developed in Okinawa it was about using
technique and extraordinary power to end a fight instantly. These old
ways of generating remarkable power are still accessible, but they are
purposefully hidden in Sanchin Kata for the truly dedicated to find.
This book takes the practitioner to new depths of practice by breaking
down the form piece-by-piece, body part by body part, so that the very
foundation of the kata is revealed.
A Test It section, designed for you to explore and verify the kata for
yourself, accompanies every chapter, concept, and application. No
other document, or video, available today provides such depth and
exploration of Sanchin Kata. Simply put, once you read this book and
test what you have learned, your Karate will never be the same.
THE WAY OF KATA—A Comprehensive Guide

to Deciphering Martial Applications
Lawrence A. Kane and Kris Wilder
The ancient masters developed kata as fault-tolerant methods to pre-
serve their unique, combat-proven fighting systems. Unfortunately,
they deployed a two-track system of instruction where ‘outer circle’
students received modified forms with critical details or important
principles omitted, and the select ‘inner circle’ students would be
taught okuden waza, the powerful hidden applications of kata.
This groundbreaking book unveils the methods of teaching you how
to analyze your kata, to understand what it is trying to tell you. It also
helps you to utilize your fighting techniques more effectively—both in
self-defense and in tournament applications. Offers fifteen general
principles to identify effective techniques, and twelve discrete rules for
deciphering martial applications within your kata.
THE WAY OF KENDO AND KENJITSU—Soul of the Samurai

Darrell Max Craig
The old Kendo teachers loved to ask their new students “What is
Kendo?” Then they would sit back and listen to them philosophize
about the way of the sword.
Kendo is something different to each and every student who picks up
a Japanese sword. Old Kenjitsu had no rules. Modern Kendo, some-
times described as Sport Kendo, does. This is the difference between
the two. This book addresses advance level Kendo skills including
equipment, exercises, wazas and the last three katas of the All Japan
Kendo Federation, which uses the short sword (Wakizashi)
