4.0 out of 5 stars Clear and concise tutorial for the 24-form., July 29, 1998
By "kung_fu_online" (Southeast US) - See all my reviews
This light-weight handbook is a clearly illustrated and concisely written guide to the 24-movement Tai Chi Short Form. Recommended as an easy-to-understand workbook for those learning, or wishing to learn, this popular form of taijiquan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beginning T'Ai Chi , August 12, 2005
This book is excellent for beginners wanting to study the 24 form Yang T'Ai Chi. The drawings are most helpful. The descriptions of the drawings are easy to follow and execute. I would highly recommend the book.
