Charno, Shing-I Ch’uan Master

      “A home run! We rate this book five hearts.”

      —Heartland Review

      “…an intriguing premise as the hero rationalizes his vigilante justice…to do nothing would be amoral. Fascinating.”

      —The Midwest Book Review

      “Remarkable!….a literary masterpiece…exceptionally well-paced and hard to put down…unique insights in the mysterious world of classical martial arts.”

      —Lawrence Kane, author of Surviving Armed Assaults

      The Crocodile and the Crane

      “Arthur Rosenfeld has done it again!”

      —Virginia Gazette

      “…a thriller of uncommon inventiveness. In the hand of the right filmmaker, The Crocodile and the Crane could be a terrific movie.”

      —Florida Sun-Sentinel

      Tai Chi: The Perfect Exercise

      “In Tai Chi: The Perfect Exercise, Arthur Rosenfeld draws from modern newsfeeds and a multitude of personal colorful anecdotes to illuminate this time-honored art. He brings a charmingly refreshing voice to the study and practice of Tai Chi.”

      —Gene Ching, associate publisher of Kung Fu Tai Chi magazine & KungFuMagazine.com

      “Arthur Rosenfeld has written the most accessible book on Tai Chi I’ve seen. Its benefits are scientifically proven, and I’ll be recommending this to my patients young and old.”

      —Mark Lachs, MD, MPH, professor of medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College

      “Rosenfeld’s book will improve your health and your mind. Easy and fun to read, it is filled with uplifting stories, lots to make you think about the world and plenty of easy-to-follow practical fitness advice. A delight.”

      —Graeme Maxton, bestselling author and fellow of the Club of Rome

      “After my own decades of attempting to convey in ordinary English the deep and subtle insights of the Taoist traditions, I can appreciate the masterful contribution Arthur Rosenfeld had made with his Tai Chi: The Perfect Exercise. He brings sharp clarity to a subject too often shrouded in mystery and confusion.”

      —Guy Leekley, author of Tao Te Ching: A New Version for All Seekers

      “Arthur Rosenfeld is one of the most special and genuine voices in the arts today. Not persuaded by fame, attention, or self-congratulatory actions, he walks a path that is unique, winding, and full of discoveries, surprises, and truth, not just for himself but for those lucky enough to align themselves with him.”

      —Del Weston, martial artist, producer, writer and director

      “Arthur Rosenfeld is rightfully one of the foremost Tai Chi masters in this country if not the world. This mastery has spiraled into his writing. This book has illumined my Tai Chi practice. It also offered fresh teaching examples in the areas of breath and energy that I can share with my students. I’m highly appreciative of his contribution with this book.”

      —Mitchell Doshin Cantor, Sensei of The Southern Palm Zen Group

      “Arthur Rosenfeld’s new book, Tai Chi: The Perfect Exercise, breathes new life into the old saying bun bu ichi (the ways of the sword and those of the pen are one). It’s extremely rare to find a martial artist whose practical expertise and martial insight are paired with literary elegance, enthusiasm, and rich experience…. Lucidly organized, elegantly written and filled with the types of insights that are only too rare in this genre…. The author’s mastery of clear and accomplished prose…make this a valuable and mature meditation on the virtually limitless depths of this art.”

      —John Donahue, bestselling author of Enzan

      “Rosenfeld’s Tai Chi is as unique a contribution to the martial art as Bruce Lee’s Tao of Jeet Kune Do was to his. This muscular work weaves history and modernity with philosophy and combat to create a tapestry that transcends all disciplines. Tai Chi will travel with you regardless of where you go and regardless of whether you take it.”

      —Cameron Conaway, author of Caged: Memoirs of a Cage-Fighting Poet

      For Professor Richard Malenky—researcher, environmentalist, and, perhaps most importantly, teacher extraordinaire. Thank you, old friend, for pointing me straight at what matters, all those many years ago.

      And for Janelle, queen of all spirit realms, especially my own.

      “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged

      by the way its animals are treated. I hold that the more helpless

      a creature, the more entitled it is to protection by man

      from the cruelty of humankind.”

      —Mahatma Gandhi

      “Great Dao inhales and exhales. Monitor and guard sexual essence, breath, physical energy, emotion, money, and spiritual capital.

      Be sure there is more inhaling than exhaling, lest you flag, tire, sadden, go broke, forget who you are, and die.”

      —Immortal YIN, chelonian consort to the Great Sage, Laozi

      “Behold the turtle, who makes progress only

      when he sticks his neck out.”

      —Bryant Conant
