This is the original classic about Short Form, the most popular and widespread form of T"ai Chi in the West. T"ai Chi Ch"uan is a must-read for every serious T"ai Chi student. This book is not meant to quot;teachquot; T"ai Chi Ch"uan, but meant to expound upon its meaning to the earnest practitioner; to offer the layperson a glimpse into this ancient art; and to communicate the author"s unique perceptions and experiences that only a lifetime of practice can cultivate. Taken in this context, this is a most valuable book.
