Tai Chi: Unlocking the Power of an Internal Chinese Martial Art, Including the 24 Forms and Meditation Techniques for Beginners (Active Meditation)

The book is an excellent read but to explain the 24 forms of Tai chi without illustration I think is an oversight of the author and the publisher

Bought to supplement a video course. Poorly written descriptions of the positions in the short form are impossible to follow without pictures or figures. I have been practicing after learning through the video series, and despite knowing what the movements should look like, I can’t see how the descriptions in the book make any sense, Added nothing to my understanding of tai chi, no value whatsoever as a stand alone book, and adds no insight to someone who has learned from another source. You can’t learnable physical skill/sport from a book, but how do you write a book attempting to teach movement with out any diagrams/ photos? Don’t waste your money

An excellent introduction to tai chi.
