The Complete Book of Tai Chi Chuan

I keep ordering more copies of this book because I inevitably give away my copies to friends. It's a great, broad introduction with lots of depth for long-time practitioners, too. The only feature I'm dubious about is the forms illustrated in the book (representing all the major tai ji chuan styles) are shortened a bit to make them easier to learn; that's hard to do from a book anyway, so I'd rather have a record of the complete forms as the master teachers practice them. That's a small issue, though, as they aptly introduce the differences between styles. The discussion of all aspects of ta chi is deep, illuminating, readable.

very good

Bem detalhado e com histórico rico sobre Tai Chi, as ilustrações dão ideia dos movimentos porém para iniciar a prática é necessário um professor.

Great Book!! Definitely can use this book and it’s knowledge to further your training.

Un livre parfait comme une introduction en Tai chi même avant de commencer à pratiquer. Ecrit dans un langage claire et succinct, en se limitant à l'essentiel tout en restant compréhensible pour les lecteurs non-chinois. Un livre heureuse exception à l'heure où tout le monde écrit sur Tai chi en oubliant qu'il s'agit d'un art martial avant d'être détourner en gymnastique et chorégraphie fantasque.
