We are delighted to announce the arrival of the newest member of our Plum family: The Eight Animals of Bagua Zhang, by Ted Mancuso.
As mentioned in an earlier post, this initial seminar-only project circled ’round to become an expanded book and DVD package. Plum’s particular love for Bagua is not much of a secret; this is the 4th entry in our Bagua series (the first three being the two DVDs, “Bagua: The Art of Change”, plus the book, “Learning Bagua Zhang”.) This newest title offers a foundational routine for both those new to Bagua, and for those practitioners looking to expand their practice. The addition of the Qigong aspects of the Eight Animals, plus some basic pole work on the DVD should, hopefully, present teachings not otherwise widely available.
And to get you started (and because we’re Plum!) we have an introductory price on the package through April 15: the regular retail price of $39.95 for the book and DVD will be discounted to $27.95.
Oh, and if you order before Apr 15, Sifu Mancuso will autograph the book.
For more, and to order, just click the picture above.
I have to say, this is a great piece of a really outstanding package. The book and the DVD combined take you step by step through the eight animals. The book explains each animal, and the DVD provides additional visual instruction.
What’s really outstanding here is that the book and DVD were offered as a complement to an eight animals seminar. In the seminar, Sifu Mancuso took us through each of the eight animals. At the end of the seminar, we were all given a copy of Sifu Mancuso’s book- included as part of the seminar!- and the DVD was offered for sale as an extra supplement to the seminar and book.
With Sifu Mancuso’s excellent instruction, I’ve made the eight animals a part of my Bagua training. You can too, whether you attend his seminar (highly recommended), or simply learn from the book and DVD. Sifu Mancuso has really gone out of his way with this project to make the eight animals accessible to everybody. I can’t say enough good things about this project; the book and DVD are excellent, and both offer bonus material to the seminar, while the seminar offers hands-on instruction and Sifu Mancuso’s expert guidance. If the seminar is offered again, I would strongly encourage anybody who is interested in learning the eight animals to attend; likewise, I would strongly encourage you to add this book and DVD to your library. With this project, Sifu Mancuso has offered a wealth of knowledge that will take you through years of Bagua training.
