For anyone learning the Cheng Man Ching form this is a valuable guide. Clear, well-written and with easy to follow diagrams, whether as a learning tool or correctional reference it is useful. The advice from different teachers regarding the form is both useful and interesting. It gives quotes from the Tai Chi Chuan classics, providing principles to focus for the more experienced practitioner.

ZMQ (aka CMC) taijiquan book- a good read.
2 April 2001
Format:Paperback
This book by Sutton details the physical and martial applications of the Zheng 37 posture form. The postures are very neatly hand-drawn, vary in size, and are clear to follow for the most part. I think Sutton does a real good job of explaining the ideas behind the postures- very clear. This is not a "flowery" book. Everything is presented in no-nonsense, martial, physical, and realistic terms. --Which makes it a delightful read.

This book explains, better than most, the movements of the Cheng Man-Ching form. In a section separate from the form explanations, the author further explains some of the martial applications of the movements. Combined with a qualified teacher, this book will enhance your Tai Chi experience.

More nonesense from the West

Format:Paperback
Look,
All these guys from the U.K. and U.S. go to Asia for a few years study something whith a Master there and then the Master tells them go out and spread "my style" or "you are my disciple." Enough. Let's see the Chinese for a change have their own books translated. And please Mr. Sutton tell your own students from Malaysia not to give you such glowing suck up reviews.It's embarassing.
