Customer Reviews

Excellent, a must have if interested in learning chen style
This book is brilliant. He starts off with some excellent theory and then moves into the actual instruction. I gave this book 5 stars but would actually mark it down half a star as I think it could do with clearer pictures. However, having said that once you read the directions and look at the pics a couple of times it all becomes clear. Also once you get used to the style of instruction it is relatively easy to pick up. He is thorough in his explainations of each posture/movement and has a pleasant and honest writing style. Over all I would absolutely recommend this book to someeone wishing to learn Chen Style old frame taiji.
