Book contains: Over 170 old photos and drawings, and 176 pages on the old Yang family Taiji (Tai-Chi) Sword practices of Master Chen Wei-Ming (1881-1958) as taught to his disciples. This book is a collection of these rare teachings as collected by Bradford Tyrey while studying in Shanghai under Master Fu Zhong-Wen (1903-1994), classmate and student under Master Chen. Our translated book Taiji (Tai-Chi) Sword ~ Volume (I), authored by Master Chen Wei-Ming, provides a traditional overview, yet authoritative approach to practicing each posture of the sword form that Grandmaster Yang Cheng-Fu (1883-1936) and other Yang family elders had taught to Master Chen, as well as to Master Fu. Volume (I) is necessary to read in order to more fully understand Taiji (Tai-Chi) Sword ~ Volume (II) which details: the Original 13 Sword Teachings, writings on the Eight Immortals, Master Chen Wei-Ming’s original explanation of how to perform each posture, annotations on the practice and meaning of each posture, clarification of meanings by Master Fu Zhong-Wen, hidden skills taught within postures, philosophical meanings of postures, and more. It is important to note that Master Chen is recognized as Grandmaster Sun Lu-T’ang’s first official disciple. Though this sword book covers Yang family Taiji (Tai-Chi) sword, Master Chen still details some of the teachings that he learned from Grandmaster Sun. This is an absolutely essential book in providing deep insight into the old traditional practices of Chinese sword. Rare photos, drawings, and explanations make this book a true treasure to collect.

This must-have book, with over 100 packed pages, is a detailed account of Chen Wei-Ming's instructional 1928 book on Yang style Taiji (Tai-Chi) Sword. More than just a translation of the original text, 'Taiji Sword: Volume I,' is annotated with explanatory training notes from Master Chen's classmates, who like Chen Wei-Ming (1881-1958) studied under Grandmaster Yang Cheng-Fu (1883-1936). Volume I contains: 83 old photos of Chen Wei-Ming demonstrating Taiji sword postures, corresponding empty hand postures, translation of an old version of Chen's instructional text, old Chinese mythological drawings related to specific sword postures, clarifications from Master Fu Zong-Wen (1903-94) on Chen's teachings, the Original 13 Sword Teachings, and many historical photos associated with Chen Wei-Ming never published before. Our next book in this series is 'Taiji Sword: Volume II ~ Annotations,' which contains over 200 pages of detailed sword posture annotations, a large collection of old photos and illustrations, sword methods as they relate to qi, explanations of each sword name, clarifications of practice and application, and so much more. About the translator & compiler: Bradford Tyrey, lived in China, the Republic of China and Japan from 1984-97, having had studied with many of China's National Treasures in the martial arts. He began his studies with Madam Sun Jian-Yun (Sun Lu-Tang's daughter) in Beijing in 1984, becoming her earliest foreign disciple. Madam Sun's good friend, Master Fu Zhong-Wen (Yang Cheng-Fu's grandnephew), at her request, accepted Bradford as a student in 1985 so that he could research and learn the traditional taijiquan teachings of the Yang family as passed down in Shanghai by Chen Wei-Ming, who had been a disciple of both Sun Lu-Tang and Yang Cheng-Fu. Bradford has published 14 books on old practices in taiji, bagua, xingyi, qigong and photographs of China and Japan depicting life and culture in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Wei Yen explores how differences in world views between Eastern and Western thought and culture have on management and leadership behaviors.In The Geography of Thought Richard Nisbett showed how the thought and culture of the East is rooted in Chinese Confucian ideals while that of the West goes back to the early Greeks. In From Great Wall to Wall Street, Wei Yen explores how these differences impact today’s leadership and management practices. He delves deeply into the two cultures and their philosophical roots, and explains why there can exist significant misunderstandings between the two camps.Yen was born in China, raised in Hong Kong, educated both there and in the US and then spent half his working life in the US and half in Asia. From his vantage point, straddling both cultures he compares and contrasts the pragmatic, wholistic Chinese (or Asian) management style with the rational and analytical Western management style. He shows their pros and cons, the areas where they differ and situations where one may be more successful than the other.Yen argues that understanding traditional Chinese culture, and how it affects management behaviors and current events, can help decision makers make better decisions in business, finance and politics. He further combines culture with credit analysis to argue that it is unlikely that China will suffer a financial collapse despite a slowing economy and high debt levels. Equally, he shows how that same philosophical traditions also lie behind China’s inability to innovate or project the “soft power” that the West’s globally successful popular culture has achieved.How can the West take advantage of China’s epic rise to strike win-win outcomes? How can the Chinese be more integrated into the global community and become a better global citizen in the future? How can policy makers make more realistic policies? None of these can be accomplished without first understanding where each other is coming from.

For over twenty years the Leadership in Ministry workshops (LIM) has trained leaders from across the country in a different way of thinking about the ministry of leadership. Grounded in Bowen Family Systems Theory, the workshops challenge and equip pastoral leaders to lead from the self with a deep understanding of the emotional process that influences relationship systems. In this volume LIM faculty members and other contributors share wisdom gained from the workshops and from coaching ministry leaders in numerous contexts. Using Bowen Systems Theory as a theory of practice for ministry, the writers offer a different and challenging perspective for courageous leadership. CONTRIBUTORS INCLUDE: Joel Alvis, Elaine Boomer, Michael Lee Cook, Israel Galindo, Meg Hess, James Lamkin, Margaret Marcuson, Rebecca Maccini, Lawrence Matthews, Betty Pugh Mills, Bill Pyle, Ronald Richardson, Carla Toenniesen, and Brian Virtue. www.leadershipinministry.org
