| Synopsis: |
Master the art of Mian Xiang with this guide to face reading for self-defence, or the art of avoiding fighting. Known as the 'Urban Daoist', Serge Augier explains how to read people and threatening situations quickly, to either avoid fights or respond in the most effective manner. He provides easy-to-understand information on interpreting the face and body, as well as all the basic information about recognising different types of aggressors quickly and understanding how best to respond to them. Effective face reading is a vital skill aspect of becoming a more accomplished martial arts or qigong practitioner, and this first comprehensive book on Mian Xiang in relation to violent situations is suitable for beginners through to the most dedicated practitioners. In the last part of the book the author explains the deeper levels of reading others, which grows out of self-disciplined practice of the internal Daoist arts. |
