By Tatsat - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tai Chi: The Way to a Healthy Life (Paperback)
I purchased this book because I really liked Master Khor's work in "Tai Chi Qigong for stress control and relaxation". But this book is really a wastage of money and time. Why? Here are the reasons:The principles and understanding of Tai Chi doesnt differ much from "Tai Chi Qigong for stress control and relaxation". The major difference is of the form.
The form given in this book is a concoction of the Yang Style form. I can say it is a concoction because I have known the Yang Style forms for quite some time. The Khor Style Taichi form has many curt movements. Atleast I felt so! But I really disliked its unidirectional movement - to the left.
The Major problem is - THE FORM (KHOR STYLE) IS INCOMPLETE. It ends up with finishing way at the left from where you start it. It doesn't cover all the directions. It doesn't end where it began. And it is incomplete!!! With my experience, I would say that such sort of concoctions are dangerous or to say the least - harmful. There is nothing wrong with changing the larger frame of Yang Style to make a form out of your own experience. Atleast the entire form should be taught completely!
If you dont believe me then buy this book and see it for yourself. But as a Tai Chi teacher I would strongly recommend you to wait till another book comes with the ENTIRE form, and only then buy it.
Listmania!
