Thanks to Mr. Michael A. DeMarcofor his kind words regarding my book on the Shaolin Butterfly style. Mr. DeMarco is the editor and publisher of the great magazine, 'The Journal of Asian Martial Arts,' as well as a Sifu and expert in T’ai Chi, internal arts and martial arts of all kinds:
"Sirfu Fuchs,
I’ve taken some days to read your book, The Shaolin Butterfly Style, and have enjoyed each page. For decades I’ve had glimpses of the style through people and readings. This is the only thorough overview available. It’s wonderful to read the details you provide for the legends like Dr. Pai and Tao Chi Li. Through your presentation, it is clear how the Butterfly Style fits in with the Shaolin tradition. I appreciate how you brought in the philosophical elements as well. There is much here presented clearly—thought, curriculum, self-defense and health aspects. A complete system. Thanks for the work you put into such a publication. All best wishes, Mike."
-Review of, “The Compassionate Touch of Reiki: Concepts, Elements, Methods,”
-5 Stars- “BEST BOOK ON REIKI EVER”
-”I have read a number of books on Reiki. None were as detailed and specific as this one. This book demystifies Reiki and gives instruction one can follow easily.
This book is also easy to read and follow. There is no fluff. Just a simple telling by a jovial personality. Like a fireside chat with a dear friend.
This is a book you will return to again and again and always gain something from.”
