Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Another nice translation from Dr. Yang. Comment: Probably NOT all that useful to the beginner, but certainly to the intermediate and advanced student -- even to those practicing styles other than Wu. For those of you who haven't looked at these translations from Yang J-M, they are worth the trouble for all the little corners of insight your practice alone -- and your own traditional texts alone -- won't provide. Customer Rating: Summary: Authentic Explanation for the Theories Comment: This is a must have for everyone who is willing to diligently study, and practice Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan. The book provides the transalation of the classics as well as the Masters interpretation and elaboration. I believe that without a thorough understanding of the theories underneath, one's skill can never prosper. Very useful book!
