A good book for the serious Tai Chi student who wants to learn about the philosophy and techniques of the form. Although there are photographs scattered throughout, the main focus of the book is on text. NOT a book on how to learn the form.

Learned a great deal from this book
Was definitely worth reading! It was like being handed an additional viewpoint from which to put things in perspective. Was also a very enjoyable read!

A seriously good book on the philosophy and method of Taijiquan from a well respected teacher / author. This book is firmly aimed at the experienced practitioner and I can see myself coming back to this again in a few years and getting more from it.
