Chen Style Tai Chi
Fair book with good written directions to go with the typical sequential pictures. As with any martial art, unless you have studied for a while (more than two years) and have mastered one art, trying to learn from a book is not a good idea. I have studied Tang So Do for over 20 years, Tomiki Aikido for over 15, and Yang Style for 20 years as well. It takes...

hmm..

Between a video, the pictures in the book and the written discription, you can learn with this book.

It's hard to find books on the Chen style. This one is well written and covers as much as you can expect in a book.
