The Essence and Applications of Taijiquan

by Yang Cheng Fu

The Essence and Applications of Taijiquan Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

First published in China in the 1930s, this legendary text by the founder of taijiquan authoritatively explains every aspect of this practice, with detailed descriptions of concepts like "Lift the Spirit" and "Sinking of Shoulders and Elbows." Also exploring more complex ideas like "Solid and Empty Space" and "Using the Mind Instead of Force," the book teaches martial artists and even casual practitioners all the fundamental positions and applications, as explained by the master. This first-ever English translation includes extensive notes and explanations.
