Another Gem from Mantak Chia

Over the last 25 years of so, my students and I have derived a great deal from a careful study of Mantak Chia's written works, and have had the great good fortune to work with several of his senior students. Not only do most of his methods work very well, but much of his material has not been published elsewhere, except in some works in Chinese. I learned a few of the same exercises while studying in China and I was told...

Very nice overview of Tai Chi biomechanics and Qigong

Mantak Chia's books are all detailed and well-organized. Although this book didn't teach me much, it did confirm a vast amount of information that my Tai Chi instructorhas been trying to pass onto me. It's nice to get a second opinion!For those who took a Tai Chi class at the YMCA or communitycollege and aren't sure whether you got legitimate instructionin traditional Tai Chi concepts or not, this is a great book tofind...

Good reference book beyond Tai chi styles

The book is very well written and full of useful tips. The basis of Tai Chi (basis in this case doesn't mean "elementary" but, as in the title, "the inner structure") are very well approached and described. What I've really appreciated is that every explained concept has the related exercise, tips and correction. Although the reverse breathing is not explained in this book and all the exercise and techniques are performed...

A good reference for both Tai Chi and Qigong

Mantak gives a great overview of Tai Chi and also includes quite a lot of useful information for Qigong. In fact, depending upon your Qigong background you might find you have actually been performing "Tai Chi" exercises instead of "pure" Qigong. I find that the combination of exercises contained in this book are the perfect balance between moving and stationary Qi exercises and will facilitate quick results for anyone interested...

well written and contain detailed info on tai chi

One of the better written book on tai chi with great illustrations that explains the basic of tai chi in simple language. Explanation on chi and posture is by far the best that I have read. Highly recommended for beginner and intermediate practitioners.
