China, India and the West, told as stories: oracle bones and the laughing sage, the forest teachers and the boy who met Death, and the minds who looked into the mind.
Thirty years on the mat
Ren Yi Wu Kwan, Bajiquan, and the peaceful warrior: the training that carried the philosophy into the body, and the body through the storm.
Two old mirrors

The Book of Kong
on Confucius, on training, on what holds when the body cannot
Confucius died in 479 BC, in a small Chinese kingdom that did not know what to do with him. His name was Kong. He believed his work had failed. His teaching, twenty-five centuries later, is still doing work in the lives of people on every continent on Earth.

A short introduction to SYK Publishing and the Seeking That Which Was Lost series.
S Y Kelake
Shifu Yalun Kelake · 師父 雅伦 克拉克
S Y Kelake is a Shifu in Chinese Gong Fu and a martial arts practitioner and teacher of more than thirty years. He is a father, a student of Forensic Psychology and Psychological Studies, a publisher, a journalist, a masseur, a yoga practitioner, a meditator, and a man who has lived long enough with difficulty to know that wisdom is not something you acquire — it is something you slowly recover.
Following a terminal cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, he chose to spend whatever time remained doing what he had always intended: sharing what he had learned, in whatever form it could take, with whoever needed it.
