5.0 out of 5 stars The best translation of the classics ever., 26 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This book is the best translation of the classics ever, it is clear
and well written and contains previously unknown information.
Both beginers and advanced tai chi practitioners will benifit from it.
If you only get one translation of the taiji classics ever...........this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Advanced Western Perspective, 22 May 2006
By William S. Dockens (Denmark) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Douglas Wile's T'ai Chi's Ancestors and Lost T'ai-ch'i Classics from the Late Ch'in Dynasty deserve to be treated as a pair and included in every serious student's library. They are unique in that they not only present previously secret, advanced concepts to Western readers; they introduce a much needed, well balanced, Western perspective to T'ai Ch'i martial arts literature. Readers, East and West, should be cautioned however. These are advanced texts that require a great deal of thought and careful analysis to be appreciated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely essential reading for all Tai Chi Chuan students., 21 May 2002
By A Customer
As well as new information on the 'classics' this book sheds much light on the true 'origins' of Tai chi (Tai Chi's Ancestors by the same author also helps greatly). Being a very scholarly work it is not an easy read but it repays the effort working through it. If you do not have a copy of the tai chi 'classics' yet, then get this one first. It is worth the money for the translations alone.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good book...
This book is good... very good but sometimes it seemed to follow an agenda in proscribing the invention of systems to particular people or the use of them in particular... Read more
