Got crisis? Get ready to fight.
Energy Warriors learn to draw on something deeper during impossible times. It is not what happens to you that defines you, it is how you manage it. Calm and clarity come through finding balance. This is a journey to inner strength.
Energy Warriors is two books in one:
THE STORY
In a literary account, Bob Ellal chronicles his battle with cancer, not once, but four times. He won. It takes courage to fight when all hope seems lost. Stress and crisis were part of the struggle. Qigong was a part of the healing. The quality of his prose is indisputable, as he becomes the energy warrior, Beowulf. Bob shares his story with intelligence, humor, and truth. He has been cancer free for over 16 years.
THE MANUAL
Master Lawrence Tan presents an introduction to the ancient art of Qigong, traditional Chinese life force exercises, for health and healing. Learn to relax and de-stress by aligning breath, movement, and awareness. The standing and moving meditations include TanDao’s signature exercise, the Universal Form.
These simple exercises are for everyone and can be put into practice immediately.
The manual complements the text and Bob Ellal’s Qigong practice, with posture illustrations and descriptions. Photos by Toni Tan.
As Lao Tze said, “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

REVIEWS:
“Energy Warriors, by Bob Ellal and Master Lawrence Tan, is a tremendous look into the experience of a four-time cancer survivor (Ellal) and his personal experiences in surviving one of the modern world’s most dreaded diseases with the aid of Qigong.
Ellal writes about his innermost feelings as a cancer patient and the private battles fought in the hearts of his family. His story does not mince words about the suffering associated with the disease, but it also shines an unflinching light of hope on the future for cancer patients through Qigong.
Tan, a well-schooled martial artist with decades of teaching experience, takes the second part of the text and fleshes out the energetic exercises of Qigong in an easy-to-understand, step-by-step fashion for the reader. Starting with the most fundamental aspects of Qigong (breath, posture, and intent), he goes on to teach the reader how to apply those fundamentals in other Qigong routines. This singular text gives you an insight into what may be one of the most powerful ancient tools in combating a modern-day scourge.”

“In a world where polarization between mind and body is the toxic norm, Energy Warriors shatters our misperceptions and compellingly draws us into the holy middle place of healing. The combination of Ellal’s extraordinary true story and Master Tan’s depth of knowledge about the relationship between martial arts and wellness makes for a unique and important contribution to the growing body of literature about holistic thinking and living.”

The Energy Warriors book was very inspiring and I loved the practices in the book. I was hoping you would put a demonstration of each of exercises in the bookon your website. I was also wondering if it would be better to do the qigong exercises before my martial arts training or afterwords.
Thanks,
Robert
I sincerely desired to be shared with the gigong drilling exercise which is primordial in nature and simplified enough to be learnt by and could be
learnt eve by a layman. Thanks for the great knowledge unfolded.
