The daunting challenge of translating eastern art into western English is well-met by this volume. Perfect for students and for teachers, straight from the sources. Particularly good with the companion video. Supports classic principles. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for beginners to advanced. Teachers will enjoy this as a text for lessons. If you can get your hands on it, get it and study it!
amazing and invaluable reference guide for students

First of all I don't believe this book is a do it yourself/alone teaching manual. It's a very detailed and informative reference guide for someone studying with a qualified teacher. The book is meant to guide you in the learning process and is not meant to be your sole guide to Tai Chi. I recently began my study of Tai Chi and found this book as an invaluable help to my understanding and practice. It's required reading meant for the serious beginner.
