Shaolin Internal Exercise (English-Chinese Edition): Traditional Chinese Medical Exercise for Health & Common Ailments

What is this book？

A practical beginner‘s guide to Shaolin Neigong—a traditional Chinese exercise system rooted in Chinese medicine. It’s not martial arts combat training, but a method of coordinating posture, breath, and intention to strengthen the body and improve circulation.

What will you get from it？

If you sit for long hours, feel stiff and low on energy, or want a low-impact exercise routine you can do at home without equipment, this book is for you. The movements are gentle, but consistent practice can help you：

• Build leg and core strength：The foundational standing postures are deceptively effective for lower-body conditioning

• Improve body awareness：Slow transitions help you reconnect with how your body moves

• Release daily tension：Breath-coordinated practice calms the nervous system

Is this right for me？

Yes, if：

• You’re a complete beginner with no martial arts or qigong background

• You want a gentle daily practice you can do at home

• You’re curious about traditional Chinese wellness and want a concrete starting point

Probably not, if：

• You’re looking for high-intensity training with fast results

• You want to learn Shaolin fighting techniques

Why this edition？

Published by Higher Education Press, this is a bilingual Chinese-English edition designed specifically for international readers. The original Chinese text is paired with English translation side by side, and step-by-step illustrations make the postures easy to follow. Whether you practice alone or want to share it with others, language won‘t be a barrier.
