Product Description

Enhance your body, mind, and soul with the newest and most comprehensive form of Tai Chi Chuan! Developed by the Chinese National Physical Education Administration, it has rapidly become popular for its inclusiveness, simplicity, and lack of repeated movement. And Tai Chi's special combination of meditation, motion, and methods of breathing make it the best technique for maintaining health, as well as for self-defense. Once you've understood the history of Tai Chi and its relationship to Taoism, you can use the channels and meridians that transmit vital energy throughout the body, and see how they can aid and benefit specific bodily organs. Start practicing the first four complete Tai Chi Chuan sequences, each comprised of twenty movements, and follow the instructions on positioning the body, where to look, how to breathe properly, and what to concentrate on. Regular practice of Tai Chi Chuan will improve health, add vigor to your life, increase mental alertness, and enhance creativity; and prolong sexual potency and activity. 96 pages, 149 b/w illus., 8 x 10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Calming of the body and mind, August 12, 2000
By William Morgan (Seminole, AL USA) - See all my reviews
I picked up the book because a friend told me that Tai Chi helps to calm a person down and handle stress. After a few weeks I've almost completed the book and have began to notice a change in my stamina, flexibilty and ability to concentrate, as well as the improvement in the strength in my body, especially my knees and ankles. I truely suggust this book to any one who is serious about learning this form.

1.0 out of 5 stars Guided injury by Taijiquan?, September 2, 2003
By A Customer
I only can run, too, seeing this posture. It's a shame what's sold under the title "Official forms of Taijiquan". PS: I have studied different forms of Taijiquan (Yang, Chen) and other martial arts in Taiwan for more than 10 years.

1.0 out of 5 stars What's with that posture?, April 6, 2001
I'm no expert on every style but that posture on the front cover is enough to make me run a mile from this book!
