Excellent beginner to intermediate's book. Reviewed 2010-02-05 - 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful:
I really enjoyed this book since it acts as an excellent guide to students of Tai Chi Chuan. This book seems more of an excellent buy for the Westerners trying to learn Tai Chi. It introduces the person to both the first 24 and 48 form of the book in an excellent way. Going into deep detail about the fighting applications of the first 24 form and then teaching the moves for the next 48 form, leaving the practitioner in a good place to go and find an instructor or more advanced book.
Good book if you know why did you buy it Reviewed 2009-11-30 - 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
Good book. The pictures could be better. They are simply gray, informative enough, but not as good as the cover page. Still 5 stars.
24 Step Tai Chi Chuan Reviewed 2009-10-01 - 0 of 0 people found the following review helpful:
This book is about the 'new' 24 step Yang style tai chi, as
well as the 48 step set. The book has good photos along with
well written instructions about the different moves as well
as the actual applications. The author is truly a master, and
he has the ability to explain well tai chi movements in a book.
There are many other books out there about all this, but this
book and the author deserve a 5 star rating.
