Synopsis
The deepest benefits of Tai Chi cannot be realized without an understanding of its underlying principles. This book presents these principles through translations of three core classics of Tai Chi that are often considered the "Tai Chi Bible", accompanied by the author's insightful commentary. Master Liao demonstrates how to increase the body's inner energy (chi) and transform it into power, health, and well-being. "Presents the basic principles of the complicated, sophisticated, and sometimes mysterious philosophy of Tai Chi...made easy to understand by the author's insightful commentary ...A worthy contribution to keeping the spirit of Tai Chi alive."--East and West Series

Short but powerful4
The only bad criticism I have towards this publication is its short length. However the information provided is both informative and interesting. This book mainly focuses on breath control and internal strength, that can help you increase your overall health and fitness. Being small enough to fit in your pocket, this book acts as a great aid to everday life.

This book is great to help your mental practice.4
I have read this book and it is a fascinating book to read. I first read it when i was learning tai chi and it help me improve my practice alot. I gave this book only four stars becasue it didnt have more pages to read. But is was very insiteful.

The Essence of T'ai Chi5
This book gives a very comprehesive and informative introduction to the meaning of Tai Chi, its movements and exercises. Providing an historical background as it does, makes understanding Tai Chi much easier.
