A renowned expert in the martial arts and Chinese medicine reveals the acupuncture point secrets of the great martial arts masters

For centuries, martial arts masters from different warrior traditions have carefully guarded the secret uses of acupuncture's miraculously effective and even life-saving acupuncture points. Gaining access to this precious and powerful knowledge was literally like trying to wrest "a pearl from the dragon's neck." Now, in this sequel to his acclaimed book, A Tooth From the Tiger's Mouth, author Tom Bisio reveals this formerly secret knowledge to general public.

In A Pearl From the Dragon's Neck, Tom teaches the reader how to use:
- Life-saving revival points and revival methods passed down through generations of martial arts masters
- The 12 Miraculous Points of Daoist acupuncture
- 30 Acu-points to treat hundreds of diseases

A Pearl From the Dragon's Neck introduces the reader to a handful of acu-points that have wide applicability in treating sports injuries and other illnesses. Many of the key acu-points are presented multiple times in different contexts, giving the reader deep insight into the many applications of just a few powerful points. Learn the secrets of:
- The Four Gate Points
- The Four Energizer Points
- Points of the Three Powers
- The Four Master Points
- The Five Intersection Points
- The Six Barrier Points
- The Eight Influential Points

You don't need to be an acupuncturist to benefit from this book!

In A Pearl From the Dragon's Neck, acu-points and revival methods are presented so that they can be easily understood and practically applied, even without acupuncture needles. For the martial arts enthusiast, there are chapters on herbal revival formulas, and practical methods of treating deliberate attacks to the 36 "Fatal" Points. As in A Tooth From the Tiger's Mouth, Bisio smoothly and effortlessly guides the reader through the mysteries of Chinese medicine and the martial arts, making the seemingly arcane and mysterious easily accessible.

Although written for the general public, martial arts practitioners, sports enthusiasts, and just about anyone who has an interest in preserving and improving their health, A Pearl From the Dragon's Neck has much to offer practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine and other professional health care practitioners.

Tom Bisio is known internationally as a martial artist and practitioner of Chinese medicine. He has studied Chinese medicine and martial arts extensively in Mainland China and practiced acupuncture, tui na and herbal medicine since 1990. Tom has written numerous books and articles on Martial Arts, Nei Gong, Daoist Meditation and Chinese medicine. He is the founder of New York Internal Arts and Internal Arts International (NYIA/IAI) (internalartsinternational.com).

    5.0 out of 5 stars Practical Above All
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    Like Tom Bisio's other book "A Tooth From the Tiger's Mouth", this book has information that is accessible and can be used in practical situations. It lists highlights of things like useful acupuncture points that can be used by not only acupuncturists, but normal people. Many advanced martial artists should be, for example, familiar with some of the revival techniques provided. I have used some of those revival techniques on people at the time of injury, and the methods like "sleeping snake" that I used worked as advertised. It is assumed that the person revived will be looked after, or evaluated by a professional as needed afterwards, but in the moment, when there's no time to play around, methods are there that will work if the person isn't injured to the point of being beyond such help. This demands that whatever methods you learn from this have to be committed completely to your memory, or they are useless. Still, many of the things provided here have great value if acquired thoroughly. Martial art types will especially appreciate what is here, but Chinese medicine practitioners and even laymen will appreciate what is here. I've used some of it, and what I used did not fail me.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really good book with great healing recipes
    Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Some of the ingredients may be a little hard to acquire uf you din't live near a "Chinatown" or know where to look on the internet (beware of hucksters) Some recipes have ingredients almost impissible to attain;I almost died sbatching a pearl from a dragons neck. I gave up on that recipe. Otherwise the recipes in the book are fantastic if you are into TCM or leery of Western medicine or want to use these recipes as an adjunct to Western medicine. I refer to this book frequently.
