This book is a hard to find item written by the World's Foremost Expert on Yang Tai Chi, Yang Zhenduo. Master Yang is a 4th generation inheritor of the art & a bloodline descendant of the founder Yang Lu Chan. This book is the most definative & authoratative compilation of Yang Tai Chi that I know of. The first chapter is a primer on Yang Tai Chi & the Master explains origins, ideas, concepts & benefits of the art. The second chapter explains detailed movements that occur repetively in the form. Indepth discussion of proper breathing stance & body demeanor are also discussed. From here on in the 108 movement form is shown performed by Master Yang with detailed explanation & later application of the form "push hands" is discussed & shown. The book is "NEW" soft cover with 289 pages filled with pictures and text. Chen Man Ching's Thirteen Chapters pale in comparison to Yang's book in terms of detail & depth. Please note we also have Yang's DVD instructionals on sale as well. |
