About this product

Product Information

This is the original classic about Short Form, the most popular and widespread form of T'ai Chi in the West. T'ai Chi Ch'uan is a must-read for every serious T'ai Chi student. This book is not meant to "teach" T'ai Chi Ch'uan, but meant to expound upon its meaning to the earnest practitioner; to offer the layperson a glimpse into this ancient art; and to communicate the author's unique perceptions and experiences that only a lifetime of practice can cultivate. Taken in this context, this is a most valuable book.

Reviews
"T'ai Chi Ch'uan as an art form of self-defense must completely spurn both physical bravery and muscular force. One is told that 'in any action, the whole body must be made as light and free-moving as possible;' so light that 'the addition of a feather will be felt for its weight, and so free-moving that a fly cannot alight on it without setting it in motion.'" -Cheng Man-Ch'ing

  • Good if you know some tai chi

    This has good information but far from complete information. Beginners will need more.

  • It's a great resource for yang tai chi stylists

    It's a basic interpretation of tai chi that the average person can study

  • Excellent condition, excellent book

    Cheng-Man Ching was one of the first 2 masters to bring Tai-Chi to America (Kuo-Lien Ying being the other) and his advise on theory is very good. Cheng-Man Ching was a doctor, and reputedly a very kind man.
