I just got the book ^_^ and there are some things i've been wondering.
1. which style is the book actually talking about, I may have misread somethings because I'm not english
2. what does cultivate mean??
YY,
The Exercises in the book come from Hebei Xingyi quan.
Cultivate means help to grow or increase.
but it's not bad for someone who studies shanxi style right??
Right. The exercises are health and conditioning oriented, they aren't bad for practitioners of any style.
