Watching Your Back

Chinese Martial Arts and Traditional Medicine

Beschreibung

How can the art of healing ally itself with the art of killing? ""Watching Your Back"" applies Daoist notions of wellness and survival to reconcile these apparent paradoxes and unveil the origins and rationale of the unexplored symbiosis of Chinese medicine and the martial arts.
