Format:Paperback
I have been practicing Tai Chi for over 12 years and am always interested in good books on the subject. Unforunatley many texts simply repeat the same material and any forms illustrated tend to be the flavour of that particular author. So what you want is a smaller number of the best books that you can really get something from and trust. TT's insights and transalaion of the Tai Chi Classics is excellent, in fact its my favourite book on Tai Chi by far.The next book to this would be Douglas Wile's Tai Chi Touchstones The Yang Family Secret Transmissions. But TT's Book is perhaps the best on the classics he has a real clarity of understanding of the art and puts it across well. Outside of these core books look for general material on Taoism, Zen, & Mediation to broaden your practice. The last I heard a number of years ago TT was 99 is he still alive ? I would like to know.

This has rapidly become my favourite read on Tai Chi, as it is so clear and easy, yet so profound, but not written like a text book, more a direct communication with the reader.

This book is not really for beginners as it caters for students who have already learnt the steps for this form of Tai chi. Having said that ,I found this a marvellous book ,dealing with the underlying asppects of tai chi, so even a novice like myself could pick up usefull advice. A great book! Master T.T. Liang has dealt with the philosophy underpinning the movements and shows how the can be used for self defence as well as well being.
