Goodreads asked Andrew Townsend:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Andrew Townsend My latest book is The Art of Taijiquan - An Examination of Five Family Styles. As some of the readers of my books know, I am a long-time student and presently a disciple of Grandmaster Jesse Tsao. I have studied the Chen, Yang, Wu, and Sun styles with him. I was always impressed with the breadth of GM Tsao's knowledge of the various styles of taijiquan. He teaches his students to respect all styles and to find the commonalities among styles rather than emphasizing the differences between them. It became my personal goal to pass along his knowledge and also his respect for all styles of taijiquan, and this book was the result of this endeavor.
