The greatest way to learn the phylosophy behind the movement
Any serious Tai Chi practitioner will know that Tai Chi is more than just movement. This book presents the original Tai Chi texts translated into english, which allow the reader to think and feel each movement in a new, more intense manner. Each sentence is a lesson in itself. While some are easy to understand, others will not be so clear in the beginning. I am sure that you will read this book more than once, reflecting on the movements and thoughts behind each form. I recommend this books to any Tai Chi practitioner who wishes to understand the roots of the discipline.

The Philosophical View
It gives the deeper more philosophical side of Tai Chi. If you enjoy the study of eastern philosophy, the Yi Ching and similar forms of eastern thinking you will enjoy this book. If you are looking for something straight forward, basic and self-explanatory stay far, far, far away.

My tai chi teacher highly recommended this book as the best translation of the tai chi classics. I first learned the short form from the authors- Amacker, Foe and Inn in San Francisco in 1975-76, two years before they first published this book.

Best version for Tai Chi Chuan students
Great readable translations of the Tai Chi Classics, an introduction with the classics no more. And that's the beauty, no modern commentary, just the Tai Chi classics in a great form. If you study Tai Chi Chuan the classics are an important part of you tradition. Highly recommended.

I've bought this book since it has never been translated in Italian. This is an essential reading for Taiji practicioners, something you can read several times along your journey always finding something new to contemplate and understand.
