5.0 out of 5 stars A great place to start, 23 May 2009
By A. Henderson "Alistair" (Bristol, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book makes no assumptions. Easy to follow and dip in and out of. Written with thought realism and humour. I recommend this to the curious - it makes Tai Chi accessible to all!
