Product Description
Book Description
Angus Clark has developed his own interpretation of the Short Form of Cheng Man Ching Tai Chi and presents it in a style that is easy to follow and relevant to contemporary life. When practiced regularly Tai Chi mobilises the body's own powers of self-healing, and generates a feeling of unity with the environment. This book not only provides information on the origins, history and growth of Tai Chi in various forms, it also gives a practical step-by-step guide to the complete movement sequences and shows how the practice can directly benefit all aspects of our daily life with increased vitality and well-being. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Complete' in every sense of the word., 29 Jun 2000
By A Customer
I was fairly new to the art of T'ai Chi when I ordered this book, and was hoping to find something that would help me understand and appreciate more about what I knew (not that much it would seem) and provide an insight into the 'bigger picture'. I was not disappointed when I received my order! I immediately found that the author wrote in a way I could relate to.
