Translations of sayings, classics, and directions from the early days of the Yang-style Taiji. Many of these throws are also used in Taiji and were precursors to throws in the Japanese martial arts. This is an excellent overview book with fascinating discussion of the history and major players of Taiji from the early days. A must have. One of the best survey books in English about the principles and practice of Taijiquan.
Information is reasonably accurate translation of classical texts for the most part.
One of the best histories surrounding some of the vague claims about Tai Chi history. Investigation into mythical characters like Jiang Fa, Wang Tsung Yueh, etc. A must have for the true enthusiast. Internal, Inc. 41 Rio Vista Circle Durango, CO 81301 USA Return to home page .
