After years of training and translating my project is finally finished:

In my book are applications for every technique found in the six sections of Zhai Yao Quan (Essentials 1-6). My book is the first book to reveal this material in the English language. It can be purchased in hard cover, soft cover or as a pdf.

Well, I have received the book and I can't seem to put it down. Just reading the applications is a wealth of knowledge. However, I wish I could practice this form and know what I'm doing. Do you have a video of yourself doing all of these roads!? I am curious to know about how the footwork is executed. I would pay you to make a video reference just for this forum's members hahaha

Thank you for the kind words regarding my book!

Here is a video of my kung fu brother and best friend, Mark Zhang, demonstrating the first section of Zhai Yao: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4yPBXyNuE0

Here is Liu Dianren of the Hao family in Qingdao performing the same section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcoKw5zBkrU

Here is a Hao family practitioner from Master Sun Deyao's line performing this section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YULuoiVIYo4

Thank you so much for these video references. I am going to study the heck out of these roads while using your book. What a treasure.

Some videos for Zhai Yao Er Lu (second section):

Liu Dianren: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcj7JxLQXcs

Master Liu leaves out a few moves, then adds a few moves at the end.

Hermann di Mauro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Nw5WLp-v8E

Mr. Mauro faithfully preserves the moves of the set. Note how the form ends facing the opposite direction as the start. This is correct if you remember that originally Zhai Yao was one very large form before it was broken into pieces. When the sections are put back together correctly, section six ends facing the same direction that section one begins facing.
