This is the first English translation of a work considered by the Chinese to be the Bible of T'ai Chi Ch'uan, containing the original writings from the Yang family secret journal & forming a foundation for the practice of T'ai Chi. Translated with commentary by Stuart Olson, a long-time protege of master T.T. Liang, CULTIVATING THE CH'I contains unique stop motion photography of the rare T'ai Chi Chi'-Kung exercises. There are chapters on internal energy generation, internal breathing methods for mobilizing ch'i, sitting & standing meditations for T'ai Chi & advanced training exercises to enhance a student's practice. The book is superbly illustrated & designed with very high production values. With the easy-to-read translation & insightful commentary, the book is a must-have reference for any student of martial arts. "Chen Kung's book is without question second to none on the subject of T'ai Chi Ch'uan. Stuart Olson has kindly made it available in English so that everyone can benefit from the Yang family secrets." - Master T.T. Liang. No library descriptions found. |
