Good starting point for Tai Chi

I recommend this book as a good starting point in learning Tai Chi. The explanations are very clear and full of meaningful details. I also recommend while reading this book to watch the videos from the channel opened by the author on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@andrewtownsend49...
Congratulations for the author and his family team!
