About This Item
Tight and unmarked-" I have been involved in numerous martial art systems both hard systems (Judo, Karate-Do, kickboxing, and boxing) and soft styles (Tai Chi, Qigong, and Yoga) for more than 50 years. I have read numerous books on these arts and I recently purchased this excellent 64-page hardcover book (Tai Chi: A practical introduction to the therapeutic effects of the discipline by Paul Crompton. This short volume is fully illustrated and it clearly explains the basic principles of the Chinese martial and physical fitness system of Tai Chi. The material in this book covers the following material: Introduction, basic principle, the Chi flow, Yin and Yang, introductory exercises, the form, specific applications, head and neck, head and spine, circulation, muscle tone, correct joint use, digestion, balance, stress, other benefits, older people, and finding a teacher. Like any book that contains instructions on how to do a psychomotor skill, it is difficult to learn Tai Chi or any other martial art by merely reading a book; however, by combining an actual hands training course with a Tai Chi/Qigong instructor with the reading of this book will produce excellent results. This is a good book for beginning Tai Chi training."-Joseph J. Truncale- Nicely Illustrated in color
