To that end, inside this unassuming, little, white book is some of the best writing on the subject of Tai Chi Chuan that I have seen. To begin with, there are no step-by-step instructions here.This book is designed to pique the interest of the layman, or to deepen the learned man's love for the art. The history lessons alone are worth the price of the book.The commentary, anecdotes, and insight come from a place of subtlty and quiet wisdom which you may not get the first time through.Time has only made my appreciation for this book's layout widen. But the real selling point is the translations of the Tai Chi Classics; of which most books about Tai Chi refer to but never provide. So if you want to learn Tai Chi, find a good teacher.But if you want to learn about Tai Chi, then let me recommend this book.It's one of the good ones. ... Read more |

The later Analysis of the Fighting set has a few nice moves in there, but it's nothing you can't figure out after awhile (if it's not imminently obvious). The pics are in black and white. The fact that the "attacker" often wears black and Dr. Yang's pants are black (his shirt is white) makes it hard to tell what's going on in some of these pics. This is especially true when black motion arrows overlap the black clothing. It's an ok book, don't know if it was worth (the money) though. -(...) ... Read more |

Taken in this context, this is a most valuable book.
The pictures don't do nearly enough to guide a person learning the form and I already know the form! The written text is by far the most interesting thing about this book and the philosophy of CMC is as always a pleasure to read. This work does in no real way reflect my views of the man himself but rather I feel it was a poorly planned work which requires far more detail in order to bring alive as a living work to students the complexity and subtleties of Taijiquan. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone in good conscience unless they are a CMC fanatic and have to have everything by him. The pictures could go as pin ups on a locker or something but apart from that I'm sorry to say CMC needed to have his thinking cap on well before this book went to press.

It talks about where Chi is generated, the medical benefits of stimulating Chi, uses, practice and so much more! The entire book is filled with page after page of knowledge. I have used this book to fill the holes in other books I've collected. I would highly recommend this book. It is very informative!

These early works are not a step-by-step manual, but guides to the practicing student to help gain insight into what they're practicing.What any reader should immediately pick-up, however, is that these guides were written for someone learning how to fight. Though much of the material is by (and thus, oriented towards) a Yang-stylist, the fundamental principles of taiji remain the same in all styles, so there is enough material that all taiji practitioners can benefit by.In fact, this book was recommended to me by a Chen-style practitioner. The other part of this book, the author's foreword, gives the colorful (and sometimes conflicting) historical background and accounts of the Yang family, which is in of itself a fascinating read. This book is definitely recommended for any serious taiji student.
Still, the stories are nice. It's refreshing to find a book where someone doesn't show you a (poor) form with 2 basic applications and claim to the the God of Tai Chi. If you really want something to sink your teeth into, hit the tai chi classics. PS- The best laugh in the pages of the book are the pics of Yang Chen Fu in "action". For a master, he had sloppy form. ... Read more |

Editorial Review Product Description Over a dozen self-defense applications of the basic Taiji movements are illustrated, and the effectiveness and completeness of Taiji as a martial art today is candidly analyzed. One chapter on teaching Taiji, stemming from over three decades of practical experience, ranges from suggestions on how to advertise and start a beginners' class,to class management including legal and financial aspects. A chapter on the late Zheng Manqing (Cheng Man-ch'ing), with whom the author studied for five years in the early 1970s, sheds light on Zheng and his students. One chapter deals extensively with aspects of self development from a personal perspective, discusses how doing Taiji correctly is a precursor to spiritual growth, and compares religion, science, and spiritual teachings. A detailed chapter on health, self-massage, and healing discusses fasting (including the author's own experience with a twenty-eight-day fast), analyzes differences between Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine, and provides exercises and methods of self-massage for head, legs, feet, and back. There is even a section on how to make your own footwear suitable for practicing Taiji. The book includes personal anecdotes and stories and has over ninety photographs and dozens of illustrations drawn by the author. Customer Reviews (37)
