TANDEN REVOLUTION teaches the details of internal power conditioning for the lower abdomen, the traditional source and storehouse of human spiritual, combative, and healing energy. TANDEN REVOLUTION is a sharp, short, sweet, straightforward read packed with actionable internal development keys. The nature of tanden (Chinese: dantian) power is explained; the difficulties in beginning to feel and cultivate it are unpacked and overcome. Numerous practical drills are provided that will enable any average person to cultivate and deploy tanden energy within a larger whole-body internal power framework.
