Customer Rating: Summary: Teac Tai Chi Comment: I am taking Tai Chi, but could not find a book that really helped me follow my form. This book does that and really helps me along outside of class. Other books that I tried were too hard to follow in terms of telling you your footpatterns along with hands and body movement. Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent Comment: This small manual has not many pretencies. Its goal is to teach the Yang short form and this is exactly what it does. The author's teaching method is smart and effective. Contrary to many other TaiChi manuals, it clearly explains how to distribute the weight among the feet and how to match the breathing to the movements. An excellent complement to TaiChi actual training. Customer Rating: Summary: Tai Chi...I Can...You Can Comment: At last!
