This is a great book, giving a balanced pespective on the practice and surrounding aspects of Tai Chi. If you practice Tai Chi and have been looking at the books available, then you probably understand that style specific content isn't very useful for most of us. The differences in styles and instructors combined with the non-photogenic nature of Tai Chi make the photo sections all but useless. This book doesn't spend a lot of time trying to teach the specific movements, but how to feel when doing them. This is the best part of any Tai Chi book, and Horwitz's book has plenty of it. I have been practicing Wu style Tai Chi for 14 years, and am currently working on a College project on my studies.

I have found the book an excellent reference. Better than any book I have so far purchased. After having several years away from Tai Chi it was extremely helpful in re-introducing me to what I had forgotten. Highly recommended.

The book was received in record time, in excellent condition, and, was an excellent read.

Truly insightful writing about the TRUE nature of TaiJi Quan. A review of the TaiJi classics, and in-depth discussion on Daoism. Truly a MUST-READ for those interested in the higher levels of TaiJi! :o)

...and besides, it's cheap...

BY FAR THE BEST BOOK YET ON TAI CHI CH'UAN AND TAOISM.
