5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, November 3, 2003
By 
Massimo Maddaloni "Maddmax1" (Bozeman, MT United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This small manual has not many pretencies. Its goal is to teach the Yang short form and this is exactly what it does. The author's teaching method is smart and effective. Contrary to many other TaiChi manuals, it clearly explains how to distribute the weight among the feet and how to match the breathing to the movements. An excellent complement to TaiChi actual training.
