"This book is a highly accurate manual for the study of Yang style Tai Chi Chuan or howeva you'd like to spell it. With very descriptive passages about all aspects from the basics to the philosophy this book also contains step by step instructions on how to position the body throughout the form.
Diagrams are included but do not attempt to learn Tai Chi from this book alone as you also need the guidance of a master. Having said that if you are interested in the Yang style of Tai Chi then this should be your chinese bible as it were."
