InfluencesWhere do you start?I've been inspired by hundreds of musicians and groups from Baby Dodds to Jojo Mayer to 10cc to The Dead Kennedys to The Beach Boys to Killing Joke to my parents to Ellery Eskelin to Stravinsky.The massive impact that John Peel's 10 til midnight show had on me when I was discovering hot knives was a key time.John Coltrane floored me,as did Iggy Pop.One of the greatest moments EVER was my initial hearing Hong Kong Garden by Siouxsie & the Banshees;equally mind bending was Allan Holdsworths' 25th century guitar playing.And Frank Zappa!!!!Thank you,Elvin Jones,Joe Lovano,Betty Carter,Herbie Hancock,Joe Jones,Buddy Rich,Pet Sounds,Elmore Leonard,Billy Cobham,Carl Hiaasen,Dianne Reeves,Tony Williams,AC/DC,Roy Haynes,Jack Nicholson,Clint Eastwood,PIL,Stewart Copeland,Stiff Little Fingers,Gong,Arthur Brown,Joni Mitchell,Tom Waits,Steve Gadd,Keith Floyd,Pink Floyd,Vinnie Coliauta,The Fall,The Cramps,Mark Mondesir,Sonic Youth,Django Bates,Dan Weiss,The Smiths,The mountains of Skye,Steve&Sue,Freddy Hubbard,ELO,Stevie Riks,Carmen Mcrae,Motorhead,Psychedelic Furs,Peter Erskine,One-Up,Inky Books,The Nightingales,The Fire Engines,Stewart Copeland,The Cocteau Twins,The Smiths,Miles,Brian Wilson,Asaf Sirkis,Steve Hillage,Echo and the Bunnymen,Carla Bley,Michael Formanek,The Sex Pistols,John Scofield,Bob Marley,Gary Husband,Steel Pulse,Martin France,the drummer on the NYC street corner in 'Taxi Driver,Julian Cope,Art Blakey,Frank Sinatra,Jack Dejohnette,Munce Angus,Eddie Reid,Bill Kemp,Han Bennink, and the legendary JOEY BARON...for now...

Hey have you seen my latest book?

My New Book: Butterfly Tai Chi: Health, Energy and Tranquility in 10 Minutes a Day


Description

The author was inspired by observing butterflies to develop a system of Tai Chi that could be performed in a limited space and within a relatively short time. He designed Tai Chi movements that naturally enhance the Qi flow in the order directed by Chinese medicine and whilst it can be used to treat a wide variety of illnesses, its real power is in preventing illness. Succinct and effective the reader can learn this form of Tai Chi within a day and can be performed anywhere -no matter how little space available.


About the Author

Martin Faulks has been a student of the oriental martial arts since he was five years old. He has a black belt in the Korean martial art, Kuk Sool Won and is proficient in the mystical disciplines of China including Tai Chi, Meditation, Qi Gong and the legendary form of Yi Jin Jing.

You can Buy it at www.martinfaulks.com or www.amazon.com and any good bookshop
