Ever wondered how doing less could help you feel more grounded, calm, and in control?

The Manual of Bean Curd Boxing takes Tai Chi off the mountain top and into your living room—no incense, no silk pyjamas. Just clear, simple ideas for moving better, thinking less, and doing what matters.

It’s not your average Tai Chi guide. Expect apes, tortoises, Tarzan references, and the odd laugh out loud. All in the spirit of learning to leave things undone—on purpose.

What’s Inside

✅ Paperback book – Irreverent, illustrated, and rooted in real-life Tai Chi principles
✅ Video playlist – Watch the lessons come to life
✅ 9 Workshops – Everyday exercises to explore calm and control
✅ Bonus Balance Course – A 5-step online class to improve posture, calm your mind, and feel more stable

      A recipe for a more peaceful life

      This was a very enjoyable book to read with lots of important lessons and steps you can take for a more balanced way of living. I carry much of what I learnt with me now and on more than one occasion have found the peace of mind to step outside of a potentially volatile situation and bring calm and order.

      Book sent to wrong address please ignore negative review

      Wrong address given when ordered the book was sent to a vacant property. I can only apologise please ignore the negative comments as the error was entirely mine. The wrong property number was in my autofill.

      Hi Trevor. Paul replied the day you left a comment on Facebook asking for details so he could find out what happened to your missing book, and today, having received your review 40 minutes ago I have contacted the publisher on your behalf and the delivery company to discover what happened. I ahve also requested a replacement issue should you wish one. Just let us know what you would prefer.
