About the author
Tom Bisio is a practitioner and teacher of Chinese internal martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine, running a clinic and school in New York City. His books focus on Xing Yi Quan and Ba Gua Zhang, two internal martial arts traditions, and on the therapeutic use of Chinese herbal medicine for sports and orthopedic injuries. Ba Gua Circle Walking Nei Gong: The Meridian Opening Palms of Ba Gua Zhang (Outskirts Press, 2012) presents circle walking as combining the cardiovascular benefits of walking with qigong and meditation while building a distinct kind of internal strength. Nei Gong: The Authentic Classic (2011) is his translation of the Nei Gong Zhen Chuan, a historically obscure Chinese text on internal energy cultivation passed down through direct teacher-to-student transmission. Bisio's work is aimed at martial artists and practitioners seeking a technical, practice-based understanding of internal training methods.
