Great introduction.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is a great reference book, however, to really learn and do Tai Chi correctly, the only and best way is to get a qualified instructor to guide and teach you.
Required text for all my classes.

Ideal text for the beginner. Easy to read. Extensive pictoral presentations in the book with dialog instructions and again at the end of the text to demonstrate the flow of the exercise from beginning to end. Students can check their positions before a 90 degree move and then after the move. If you want to get a feel for Tai Chi, this is a good, quick starter book.
Good teaching text.

Traditional form. The figures in this text match my style of Tia Chi and are helpful for students to check stances and hand positions, before & after movements. If you want simple explanations but very little Chinese history or culture, this text will do very well.
I require the book for my students.

I teach the Yang style Tai chi and use this book as the foundation to my class. It is exactly the form we teach and people really like it to suppliment our form. I would highly recommend it. We have been using it for 5 years now.
