Tung's Points and the Fourteen Channels:
Academic & Clinical Discussions

by Dr. Wei-Chieh Young

In recent years there has been increasing interest and inquiry into the various aspects of Tung’s extraordinary points, which is a very good phenomenon. However as a result of this popularity, individuals who have studied on their own without guidance are beginning to teach the work. Further there are several strange books spreading into the stores. For these reasons, we need to support new learners in getting correct information, rather than exposing them to a body of knowledge built solely from reading and conjecture. This will empower new learners to provide proper treatment and to realize the true manifestation of Tung’s points. Through direct transmission we can support the strength and integrity of Tung’s lineage. Currently, several fellow apprentices and students have collectively discussed the various academic and clinical virtues of Tung’s work. After reorganization, the related contents will be published in this website with more research and discussion to follow.
