Qigong and the Politics of Breath
The Debut Book by Dustin Shane Bunnell
Agniyana is more than a platform — it’s a movement to preserve, reclaim, and reawaken the wisdom of traditional martial arts for the modern age. With the release of his debut book, Qigong and the Politics of Breath, martial artist and translator Dustin Bunnell invites readers on a journey into the forgotten roots of Qigong, ideology, and inner cultivation in modern China.
This groundbreaking work explores how Qigong was reshaped by Marxist materialism, how breath became political, and how ancient body practices survived ideological control to ignite transformation today.
Why This Book Matters
Drawing from 70+ years of Chinese history, Qigong and the Politics of Breath weaves together internal martial arts, state ideology, and cultural survival. It’s a must-read for martial artists, Qigong practitioners, researchers, and anyone curious about how ancient practices adapt — or resist — under political systems.
This book is both a history and a call to reclaim the deeper meanings behind your breath, your body, and your practice.

WUDE: THE ETHICS OF KUNG FU
Wude is the soul of martial arts. It shapes how you move, how you train, and how you carry yourself in daily life. With the release of his next work, Wude: The Ethics of Kung Fu, Dustin Shane Bunnell invites you to return to the moral roots of true practice and rediscover the values that give martial skill meaning.
This book explores the ancient code of martial virtue, Wude, and shows how it guided the great warriors and teachers of the past. You learn why honor matters, why discipline builds power, and why courage must work alongside compassion. You also see how ego, shortcuts, and empty showmanship can destroy what martial arts stands for.
Why This Book Matters
Modern training often focuses on speed, strength, and image. Wude brings you back to character, duty, humility, and loyalty to the path. You study the principles that shaped historic masters and apply them through clear exercises, personal milestones, and reflection prompts that challenge you to grow.

LIVING WUDE: THE MODERN PATH OF MARTIAL VIRTUE
Martial virtue is not memorized, it is lived. Living Wude elevates your practice from discipline on the mat to discipline in every part of your life. This work continues the mission of restoring the heart of Kung Fu by showing how you bring ancient principles into modern challenges, decisions, and relationships.
Living Wude guides you through the ten classical virtues and shows how they shape your conduct, mindset, and training. You learn how to stay grounded under pressure, how to lead with character, and how to cultivate sincerity in a world driven by speed and shortcuts. Each chapter gives you reflection practices, training refinements, and real-world action steps that strengthen your character one decision at a time.
Why This Book Matters
Skill fades without discipline. Power corrupts without humility. Training has no meaning if your behavior does not change. Living Wude gives you a framework to build consistency, clarity, and courage in daily life.

Martial Arts | Internal Alchemy | Yoga | Embodied Wisdom
True martial arts go beyond fighting. They are a path of inner refinement — a forge for the body, breath, and mind.
Agniyana is my living system of internal alchemy, rooted in the traditional disciplines of Kung Fu, Qigong, Filipino Kali, and Taoist cultivation.
Through this work — in my books, videos, courses, and translated teachings — I help students reclaim the power of breath, movement, and awareness to transform their lives from the inside out.
Each strike is a ritual.
Each form is a code.
Each breath is a revolution.As a martial artist and author, my mission is to preserve the lost knowledge of internal systems — and to make them relevant again for those who seek clarity, strength, and purpose in modern times.
Whether you’re just beginning or walking a long path, there’s always more to uncover.
