5.0 out of 5 stars ZMQ (aka CMC) taijiquan book- a good read.
This book by Sutton details the physical and martial applications of the Zheng 37 posture form. The postures are very neatly hand-drawn, vary in size, and are clear to follow for the most part. I think Sutton does a real good job of explaining the ideas behind the postures- very clear. This is not a "flowery" book. Everything is presented in no-nonsense,...

5.0 out of 5 stars ZMQ (aka CMC) taijiquan book- a good read., April 1, 2001
This review is from: Tai Chi Chuan: Roots and Branches (TUTTLE) (Paperback)
This book by Sutton details the physical and martial applications of the Zheng 37 posture form. The postures are very neatly hand-drawn, vary in size, and are clear to follow for the most part. I think Sutton does a real good job of explaining the ideas behind the postures- very clear. This is not a "flowery" book. Everything is presented in no-nonsense, martial, physical, and realistic terms. --Which makes it a delightful read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful and Accurate, March 10, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book explains, better than most, the movements of the Cheng Man-Ching form. In a section separate from the form explanations, the author further explains some of the martial applications of the movements. Combined with a qualified teacher, this book will enhance your Tai Chi experience.
