Editorial Reviews: Tàijíquan is one of the most popular martial arts in China today. It is practised both as a competitive sport and as an exercise to strengthen the mind and body. Tàijíquan is an easy-to-use, fully-illustrated guide to the historical background, practical application, underlying principles and techniques of Tàijíquan. Written by one of China's most prominent teachers of Tàijíquan, this book is an excellent introduction to a martial art that improves balance, coordination, flexibility, muscle strength and cardiovascular health. Tàijíquan describes five forms in which Tàijíquan is practised today: the 81-Step Tàijíquan, the Simplified 24-Step Tàijíquan, the Competition 42-Step Tàijíquan, the Competition 42-Step Tàijí Sword, and the 32-Step Tàijí Sword. Each form is explained with instructive photographs, a numerical reference system for each exercise as well as an interactive DVD, making it an excellent resource for students of martial arts, experienced practitioners or anyone interested in learning about Tàijíquan.
