In 1985 Peter met Master Jifu Huang. Peter’s role in Chinese Martial Arts was enhanced after training with Master Huang. In 1987 Master Huang introduced Peter to his Master, Grand Master Chen Yuhe, from the famous Nanjing Academy in China. Grand Master Chen Yuhe accepted Peter as his disciple (his adopted son).

Dennis Rovere, the respected and experienced teacher and practitioner of Xingyi Quan and author of the wonderful book "The Xingyi Quan of the Chinese Army" has written a review of my book "Dragon Body, Tiger Spirit":

"Dragon Body, Tiger Spirit by Byron Jacobs
I bought a copy of Dragon Body, Tiger Spirit from Byron Jacobs, when we met up in Beijing in April. I began reading it on the train to Xi’an and quickly realized that this is not a book that should be read in the traditional way (i.e., cover to cover then put it on your bookshelf). This is a book that needs to be dissected and applied to every aspect of your xingyi training. Practice a movement; read the section in the book that refers to the movement; think about how it applies to, and affects your understanding; move through your training while envisioning how the old teachers were trying to impart their understanding on a level that is deeper than simply executing the technique by copying; Repeat.
Translation is difficult. It involves not only words but also a clear understanding of the nuances of a subject in the original language and clearly transmitting these nuances into the language you are translating to. Dragon Body, Tiger Spirit hits the mark in this regard. Byron accomplishes this in three stages. First he provides the original text in Chinese. Second, he provides the translation of the text. Third, and in my opinion most importantly, he then completes each piece with a commentary and notes to help dispel misunderstanding and misinterpretation. In addition to the classical texts, Dragon Body, Tiger Spirit also contains poems by Byron’s teacher Di Guoyong – a person with extensive experience and training from the “older” generations of teachers, and a seasoned teacher himself. This is important because his poems help create a bridge that connects what are often viewed as ‘esoteric writings’ to sensible practice in the modern pursuit of martial arts training (especially xingyi).
Dragon Body, Tiger Spirit also has a bonus section of short biographies of famous xingyi masters. I was particularly pleased to see Lijianqiu (c.1890-1956) the first xingyi instructor at the Nanjing Central Military Academy, who was an acquaintance of my teacher Col. Chang Hsiang Wu (who also taught xingyi and military strategy there). There’s more, but I suggest you buy the book and discover things for yourself – you won’t be disappointed." - Dennis Rovere
