These Are Grandmaster Wong Kiew Kit Books Written in English Language
The Art of Chi Kung
No previous knowledge of qigong is required to understand this book; all concepts and expressions are explained in a style and vocabulary easily understandable to the Western reader.
You will be introduced step by step to all the important aspects of the body, mind and spirit work of qigong until you reach, towards the end of the book, quite advanced concepts.
In a work in which the author does not overlook the cultural and ideological differences between the environment in which qigong originated and the reader’s environment, Wong Kiew Kit gives us descriptions that may seem incredible to the eyes of any Westerner; however, most of the examples mentioned in this book have been verified by the experience of the Grandmaster’s students, as well as by his own.
But no element of this work should be accepted based solely on the faith or reputation of the authorities cited; rather, the principles and practices suggested should be approached with an open mind, and their benefits should be evaluated after they have been put into practice for an adequate amount of time.
At the more advanced levels, qigong takes on spiritual aspects, transcending the physical, but there are many people who practice it and benefit greatly only from its physical aspect, neglecting some or all of its spiritual nuances.
Chi Kung for Health and Vitality
If you want to enjoy the enormous capacity of a clear mind, a healthy and vital organism, Qigong for health and vitality will open the doors to a new world full of energy and well-being.
The practice of Qigong can bring you, among others, the following benefits:
– Manage stress
– Cultivate health
– Enhanced sexual vitality
– Enhance the creativity of the mind
There is a growing recognition of the benefits that the Chinese art of Qigong (or Chikung) brings to the improvement of physical and mental capacity. Its continued practice, in addition to promoting vitality in the sporting and sexual spheres, contributes effectively to the cultivation of health.
Over the centuries, Chinese culture deepened this knowledge and developed special techniques aimed at acquiring chi, or vital energy. Some of these techniques were used in the martial arts; others served to preserve health, cure illness and provide vigor in old age. But all of them were kept secret.
This clear and profound book teaches us the Qigong techniques for energy cultivation, offering a program of simple exercises designed to enhance physical, mental and spiritual well-being, equally suitable for both novice and expert practitioners.
The Complete Book of Chinese Medicine
For traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is the mirror of the universe, insofar as its constituent elements are the same as those found in nature and are governed by the same laws.
It is often mistakenly believed that Chinese medicine is nothing more than acupuncture and herbal medicine.
In reality, Chinese medicine is a very broad field that encompasses many other aspects, such as external medicine, therapeutic massage, traumatology, qigong, and mental and spiritual health, which are explained in this book in a way that is as accessible as it is accurate and profound.
This lavishly illustrated work enables the Western reader to become familiar with this ancient healing tradition and is also of great use to health professionals.

The Complete Book of Tai Chi Chuan
Considered as one of the most suitable oriental martial arts for the search of balance and emotional, mental, spiritual and physical harmony, Tai Chi Chuan reaches in the West a greater diffusion every day for its proven effectiveness.
This guide gathers the essence of the secular Chinese wisdom of Tai Chi Chuan, pursuing its most outstanding aspects as well as the benefits that it generates for the integral health of the body and mind.
Written in a clear and fluid style and complemented with abundant drawings, this book makes a detailed tour through the different levels of knowledge and practice.
The Art of Shaolin Kung Fu
This book is a practical guide that introduces the reader to the history, philosophy and various styles of Kung Fu and accompanies him step by step from the establishment of training objectives to the highest level to which Shaolin Kung Fu leads: Zen.
Specialized areas for combat training are introduced in a progressive manner with detailed explanations and illustrations showing the sequences of movements.
Specific techniques provide knowledge and practice for overcoming combat situations; combat sequences allow application of those techniques to continuous fighting, with training in decision making and quick thinking to successfully overcome changing situations in combat.
Combination series allow for improved space and time management, balance and fluidity of movement; strength training provides the power, speed and agility that are crucial to winning a fight; and principles of tactics and strategy help use the brain as well as strength to secure victory.
The Complete Book of Zen
Zen leads to spiritual fulfillment because it allows us to find joy and meaning in daily life. This knowledge of cosmic reality is within everyone’s reach because it is the expression of our mystical essence.
In The Complete Book of Zen, the renowned Shaolin master Wong Kiew Kit explains the principles of this discipline through a rigorous journey through the fables and stories of the tradition.
This treatise offers reflections drawn from the author’s own wisdom and long experience. Practicing Zen:
– Intensifies our concentration
– Enhances our intuition
– Brings emotional balance
– Strengthens the body
– Provides inner vitality
– Cultivates health
– Leads to supreme spiritual wholeness
As its title indicates, the most comprehensive work on Zen and an indispensable guide to making the most of spiritual energy.
