Books By Dustin Bunnell

Clarity in a culture of illusion

These books explore Kung Fu, Qigong, breathwork, and internal cultivation through research, translation, and lived practice. Written for martial artists who value skill over spectacle.

Kung Fu deserves clarity. Training demands pressure. Students deserve truth. Virtue matters more than algorithms.

Featured Book

Book cover of Qigong and the Politics of Breath by Dustin Shane Bunnell, featuring a seated Buddha statue, candlelight, ancient scrolls, and an open manuscript in a warm gold and sepia tone.

For centuries, Qigong has been wrapped in myth. This book exposes how twentieth century politics, ideology, and Western mysticism reshaped an ancient practice.

• The Marxist turn and state science
• The Qigong Fever movement
• The Western mysticism wave

Based on historical research, Chinese source material, and lived martial practice.
