The following series of excellent articles on ‘Medical Implications of Combat T’ai Chi Ch’uan Techniques: Investigating Blunt Force Trauma’ by Dr. Gregory T. Lawton appeared in Volumes 13, 14 and 15 of Lift Hands Magazine in 2020. His expertise on the subject and knowledge are second to none!
editor’s Note
I
t is very rare when you get an author, a philosopher, a poet, an artist, a medical practitioner, a martial artist with an impeccable pedigree, a veteran of the armed forces and above all a human being who in my opinion exemplifies the best of the human spirit - all roll into a singular person. Dr. Gregory T. Lawton represents all that and much more.
In this ‘Extra Supplement’ of Lift Hands, I have compiled all three of the original articles into a singular body for folk to enjoy as well as a work of reference. The covers of the original Volumes in which these articles were published appear below. My gratitude to Greg, whom I am honoured to call a dear friend, for sharing his knowledge with us all. Enjoy.
