About the Author
C
.K. Chu, author of the highly acclaimed "T'ai Chi Ch'uan Princi-
nd Practice," was born in Hong Kong in 1937 where he began
his study of the martial arts as a youth. He has been teaching T'ai Chi
Ch'uan and related disciplines since 1970. In 1973 he founded the T'ai
Chi Ch'uan Center of New York.

Master Chu holds a B.A. and M.A. in physics which he has
taught on the university level. His scientific background enables him
to correctly apply the principles of Chinese internal exercises, such as
Nei Kung, and to explain them in western scientific and philosophical
terms.

Acknowledgments
A path, it is said, is made with the footsteps of many people. The
of Nei Kung has evolved in much the same way. Of the many
students and friends who contributed their valuable time and talents, I
especially wish to thank Jim Borrelli and John Shramko. Jim Borrelli
was a major driving force from the very beginning. His help in
conceptualizing and writing this work has been indispensable. An
equally vital role was performed by John Shramko who, in addition to
his help in writing, was responsible for the comprehensive
organization of the material from the text to the photo strips. Without
the unflagging spirit, energy and dedication of John and Jim this book
could not have been accomplished.
I also wish to express my appreciation to Kip Meyer for
providing the fine photographs, Hing Yin Chu for illustrations, June
Jackson for art direction and layout, Tim O'Meara, Richard Marchione
and Bob Lyons for typographic assistance and advice, and Robert
Anderson, Philip Tartaglia and Marilyn Seiler for critical evaluation. I
feel very fortunate to have worked with such generous and gifted
people.
Lastly, I am deeply grateful to my family who made my concern
for this book their concern too—especially my wife, Carol, for her
help with production and proofreading, and my daughter, Elizabeth,
for the cover design.
