Customer Reviews

Short but powerful
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.
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 Chi
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.
