Product Description
This book concerns the arts of Tai Chi, Self Defence and the philosophy out of which they were born. Written without the use of obscure technical terms it will appeal to anyone interested in knowing what is behind those flowing, meditative movements. Howard has been a student and teacher of Tai Chi and self defense for 38 years and brings a fresh approach to this fascinating subject.
By taking example from nature, such as the trees, insects, animals, rivers, the sea and also from man’s inventiveness; the wheel, the computer and our social structures, Howard has expressed his own understanding of the Taoist principles.
The two composite factors of the Tao are the Yin and Yang and Howard has shown using the above examples how these elements are imbued on everything from the material to the immaterial.
You Me & Tai Chi is not a training manual but a viewpoint developed through personal experience and observations made from incidences occurring throughout Howard’s life.
Until the death of Grand Master Chee Soo in August 1994 Howard had been one of his students for twenty one years. Through commitment and dedication and with personal training from Chee Soo Howard was awarded the highest grade issued by the Grand Master.
