It is designed to help participants remem- ‘ber and master the essential and important shuaiizo techniques. When performed, the routine is graceful, yet dynamic, open and relaxing, gliding from one move to the next, giving participants more enjayment while training effective shuaijia techniques. For many years, Ihave performed in many US, Canadian, and other interntional competitions and have reeived grest reception fm my friends and colleagues. They have eneouraged me to publish other routines in this series, including Xiaoyaona (alana), Xiaoysoquan (ist), Xiaoyaozhang (palm), Xiaoyaoguaitul (kek). With the lp and encour fagement of my protégé, Wen-Ching Wa, this book is now ready to meet the general public, ‘Wayt implies limitlessness. In the technical movements, it implies ‘many variations by analogy. Tati, from the 36 techniques asa founda- tion, you have the option to vary them into numerous other techniques and combinations of techniques. _Xinoyao implies, practice the movements with any characteristic you Wish. You may use slower paced body movements backed with in- ternal strength, or swift paced body movements with fajin, to completely exprass your personal characteristic. ‘Wen-Ching has coauthored several books with me, He has done tremendous amount of work. I wou lke to take this opportunity to thank him.
