This review is from: Yang Style Taijiquan (Paperback)

I have been a student of Yang style Taijiquan for nearly 20 years and, since 1994, have been offering guidance to others who are interested in Taijiquan. Yang, Zhen-Duo, the author, is Yang, Cheng-Fu's son and of course the highest current source of knowledge of his family's style of Taijiquan. I've used this book as a textbook for my classes from the start and will continue to do so as long as it's available. The pictures and text are very specific to the Traditional Yang family Taijiquan long form of 103 movements and the book also includes application ideas for many of the postures. This is the first book I recommend to begin your Taijiquan library.

Master Yang Zhen Duo, 4th generation Yang family successor, describes each move of the 103 posture Yang style Taijiquan barehand form originated by his family. The book is illustrated with photographs of Master Yang performing each posture. Applications of the postures are also described, with photographs of Master Yang and his grandson Yang Jun, demonstrating each of the applications.

I have only recently taken up Yang Style Tai Chi and have found this book to be easy to follow as a support to my instructor's efforts. Thoroughly recommend it to any other 60 year olds taking up Tai Chi.
