This is the original classic about Short Form, the most popular and widespread form of Tai Chi in the West. Tai Chi Chuan is a must-read for every serious Tai Chi student. This book is not meant to teach Tai Chi Chuan, but meant to expound upon its meaning to the earnest practitioner; to offer the layperson a glimpse into this ancient art; and to communicate the authors unique perceptions and experiences that only a lifetime of practice can cultivate. Taken in this context, this is a most valuable book.
