WHAT IS BEAN CURD BOXING?

Bean Curd Boxing is a 21st century productivity toolkit for achieving better health, balance, and calm in an increasingly hectic world. At its heart, it embraces the practices of Tai Chi, but, isn't only about Tai Chi; it’s about how to live more efficiently and mindfully by embracing the Taoist principle of “Leaving Things Undone.”

  1. Tai chi for YOU AND ME

If you have ever wondered what the ancient practice of Tai Chi can offer, but have been put off by the usual sales pitch, the claims of invulnerability or instant enlightenment, then this new, irreverent guide will come as a refreshing change for you.

It will engage you from the first page, with its mix of humour, evocative illustrations, philosophy, and practical advice.

2. PLAY, DON’T STUDY

Written by Paul Read, (the teapotmonk) an instructor of over 30 years, the book steps away from the clichés and stereotypes often associated with Eastern practices. Instead, it introduces principles in a playful, accessible way by using apes, cats, and tortoises—as metaphors to illustrate core concepts.
