5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book for those seeking the essence of Yang Taiji, 14 April 1999

By A Customer

It seems curious that the reviewer who gave this book one star did not offer any specific examples of where Dr. Yang was "incorrect". This book, and the companion volume, are gold mines of theory and application. Anyone who has learned the Yang style long form for health will be amazed at the almost infinite number of techniques, both apparent and hidden, revealed in these volumes. The four aspects of Yang Taiji, and indeed of all Chinese martial arts (punching, kicking, wrestling, and chin-na)are explored in depth, as well as the more fundamental ideas of the nature and generation of chi and the various jings. I have personally attended a number of Dr. Yang's seminars at his YMAA in Boston and have found them to be excellent. Dr. Yang, with a PH.D in engineering, is very well grounded in the Western concept of scientific proof. His writings are not only the result of his research into the ancient classics, which is extensive, but also his own practice, pondering and above all practical discrimination. I would add that Dr. Yang always cheerfully and humbly invites people to disagree with his theories and to offer alternatives. However, you might find it quite difficult to debate a subject with someone who has studied it perserveringly for 35 years. On a final note, it should be stressed that in these books, as well as in others by the author, the concept of personal morality, ethics, and the cultivation of the spirit are not just footnotes, but are central to the art.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent survey for the more advanced student, 30 Nov 1998

By A Customer

I disagree with the earlier reviewer who gave the book only one star. While the book is complicated for the beginner, it is a very thorough and systematic presentation of classical taiji theory and application that the advanced student and teacher will find useful. While it doesn't present absolutely everything, the book nonetheless will serve as a useful reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars This work obfuscates the true essence of taichi., 12 April 1998

By A Customer

The author purportedly wanted to explore the martial applications of tai chi chuan; however, his understanding of the subject matter appears to be inadequate. In the most crucial areas, his explanations are often obscure, and worse, incorrect. This is a good book if you want to pick up some rudimentary ideas about the vocabulary of higher levels of tai chi, but it does not get to the true essence of the well guarded secrets of tai chi as a powerful martial art.
