Book Description

Teach Yourself (NTC) August 29, 2004

The perfect antidote to the stressful lifestyles of today, this centuries-old exercise system from China is gaining increasing popularity in the West. Before committing to a class, though, anyone interested in this calming, graceful form of fitness should check out Teach Yourself Tai Chi. This inspirational introduction explores the background and philosophy of this ancient art form, provides step-by-step instructions for learning the "short yang form," and offers helpful advice on health and stress-management. Readers learn how integrating just 10 minutes a day of tai chi promotes relaxation, well-being, and increased concentration.

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.
