Tai Chi Chuan Classical Yang Style

I am book lover. I love Tai chi. No one teacher nearby. So I ordered this book to Amazon. Book is very useful.It is from Fundamental. Thanks for supply.

Excellent book

Un libro davvero prezioso per chi voglia approfondire tutte le figure del Tai Chi. In genere molti manuali riportano le figure base mentre questo è davvero completo. Le spiegazioni sono ben fatte e le immagini appropriate. Consiglio però di raffrontarle con qualche video in Internet affinché alcuni passaggi risultino più chiari e si possano eseguire nella maniera corretta. Un utile aggiunta per ogni praticante. Da considerare anche gli altri libri della serie che forniscono una comprensione completa di questa meravigliosa arte.

Thank you very much to the author for his profound sharing. Mandatory for a authentic practicing of Tai Chi Chuan.

O Dr. Yang é referência para estudantes e estudiosos das artes marciais chinesas, e esta nova edição deste clássico do Taiji chega em muito boa hora. Pena que a importação do DVD que o complementa nos seja proibitiva nestes tempos de dólar na estratosfera.

A very substantial book!Dr Yang Jwing-Ming has clearly put a lot of effort in preparing this book. The pictures and explanations are easy to grasp, and make it quite possible IMHO to learn a great deal directly from the book (without a teacher)if you are open-minded and if you persevere.The complete Yang Long Form is presented in details, plus many preparatory Qi Gong exercises to use as such or to help you learn the form.In fact, while Dr Yang and all respectable authors will strongly urge you to search for direct teaching from a good master, this book is the next best thing to a master.The quality and completeness of the theory presented inside have given me more insight and useful answers than years spent with some teachers.While a good master is unbeatable to help you learn an art, it is also very difficult to actually find one! Many not-so-good teachers will put confusion in your mind and create an aura of mystery about their art, and discourage you to inquire elsewhere so you'll remain dependent upon them.Dr Yang's approach is radically opposed to this. He writes openly, clearly explaining a lot of information to help you understand the meaning and the methods of tai chi chuan. No mystery here, just the right information. This is what you get from a book written by a real master. Whether you are learning with a teacher or alone, this book will be very useful.***Update on December 17, 2015: Nearly three years later, I am also using a few books by other authors, but Dr. Yang's teachings are the solid core of my 5-hour daily practice. I have three dozens of his books and DVDs and participated in a seminar in Boston.Dr. Yang's teaching really helps me to grow in the long term, plus he's a fantastic person to meet!

Yang produces very good quality. His teaching is in depth and very clear. Making it easy to follow and comprehend. He really goes in depth teaching the history and theory as well as the practice. He is by far the most in depth teacher I have found thus far on martial arts. I learned primarily from books and have taught for twenty years and I started out with some of his books and am still running behind him with my tongue hanging out for exhaustion trying to catch up to him. Through great desire and hard work with the correct guidence of Dr. Yang people begged me to teach them and start a class. He will give you the correct instruction but only you can determine how much it benefits. Through hard work and lots of pondering. You can attain very high levels. I should know Ive had third degree black belts boiling mad because I taught them more in ten minutes than they learned in five years and paid thousands for classes and it was all blown away in minutes because of the foundation I gained from Dr Yangs books.
