Alright, I went home and got some more books. All prices are shipped. All books are in mint or near-mint condition. Here you go:
The Essence of Internal Martial Arts: Esoteric Fighting Techniques and Healing Methods (http://qi-journal.com/store.asp?-Token.SearchID=Taiji) - Jerry Alan Johnson. 316 pages. $21. It's the 6th one down under "books and charts" on that page. Out of Print at amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1885246013/qid=1082951891/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-7096336-3305561?v=glance&s=books). This book is full of crazy training methods. For example, Unicorn Vibrational Palm Training, Dragon's Drilling Palm Training, SNake's Piercing Palm Training, various liniments, vibrational training, Drawing Ch'i into the Bone Marrow, Bone Squeezing, Palm Projection Exercise, Attacking the Nerves, Attacking the Blood Vessels, Herbal Medicine, Massage and Acupressure. The table of contents is 6 pages long. There's a lot of info in this book. Most of it (if not all of it) stems from Bagua. Lots of illustrations for the training techniques: "Swimming Dragon" Wooden posts, "Nine Palaces" Wooden Post, Weighted Vest Training, bursting a piece of tofu at the bottom of a tub of water training, hitting balls suspended from a string, rolling a staff with one end in a corner, striking suspended paper, etc. I just picked some random ones there.
The Striking Snake Manuevers (http://ryukyu.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=RBP&Product_Code=18OKFA423) - H. C. Chao. $7.00 62 pages. This is an old book. It has a little (one page) background on snake style, and then shows a form step by step. Each step has fighting applications. Not the best book out there, but how many books have you ever seen on snake style?
Shaolin Chin Na: The Seizing Art of Kung-Fu (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0865680124/qid=1082952712/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/104-7096336-3305561?v=glance&s=books) - Yang Jwing-Ming. $9.00 162 pages. Training, hand positions, massage. A decent book on the subject.
And I'll probably be selling The Art of Expressing the Human Body (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index%3Dstripbooks%26field-keywords%3Dexpressing%2520the%2520human%2520body/104-7096336-3305561) - Bruce Lee. I just have to look through it one more time, first.
I still have these books for sale, too:
Phoenix-Eye Fist (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0834801272/qid=1082609854/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/104-7096336-3305561?v=glance&s=books) - Don F. Draeger. $12.00 This is the book that someone (Vash?) was raving about. It is pretty awesome. It's all about the system that uses only the phoenix-eye fist, and shows some training methods as well. Out of Print.
Tao of Gung Fu (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0804831106/qid=1082609656/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/104-7096336-3305561?v=glance&s=books&n=507846) - Bruce Lee $13.00
Jeet Kune Do: Bruce Lee's Commentaries on the Martial Way (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0804831327/ref=pd_sim_books_1/104-7096336-3305561?v=glance&s=books) - Bruce Lee $13.00
PM me with offers. I'll probably send them outside of USA, but it's annoying sometimes so PM me and ask first. I must be paid in US dollars regardless.
