A fun and accessible introduction to studying Tai Chi-designed specifically with the interests and capabilities of young martial artists in mind.

It includes thorough introductions to the history and philosophy of Tai Chi, what to expect in the first few classes, how to warm up and practice setting goals. With over 75 full-color illustrations, including 40 clearly diagrammed Tai Chi moves, along with lots of fun facts and informative sidebars written in kid-friendly, jargon-free language, this is the perfect introduction for the younger martial artist.

Summary: Tai Chi for Kids -- wonderful!
Comment: This really unique book is not what me and my kids expected. The authors succeeded in presenting a Tai Chi book that in a way is not a Tai Chi book. They combine simple, but important traditional Tai Chi exercises, combined with fun partner drills using balls, push-ups, and other easy to teach exercises, all based on real Tai Chi principles. Don't expect the book to teach the standard Tai Chi forms. This is completely different and teaches easy to learn exercises that offer Tai Chi benefits, (usually promoted for adults), for kids. The illustrations are great and the anecdotes, such as how important Tai Chi practice is for kids in Chen Village (Tai Chi's birthplace in Northern China), give this very unique book a charm and usefulness all its own. Even if my kids don't continue practicing the Tai Chi exercises, they love looking at the illustrations of a boy and girl doing the moves, as well as reading the clear text of the history and storys about Tai Chi. Compared to other kids oriented Tai Chi books out there, this is by far the best available. We adore it.
