Excellent introduction December 26, 2007

It's possible that having lessons from Karel and Eva (as I do) biases you but I've looked at enough tai chi books now to feel I can say this is a really good one. The photographs are clear and well-posed from a variety of angles and use a range of models. The warm-up exercises are varied and comprehensively explained and will stand by themselves as a way of developing fitness, core strength and poise. The structural principles underlying tai chi are made clear and the link between these and the form is well-made. The book also includes a pictorial guide (still photos and also a film strip-like sequence) to the first part of the Chen Laojia tai chi form. This might be a little hard to follow without having attended a few classes first but then who would ever suggest you could learn the form from a book! I recommend taking some classes from Karel and Eva - you will be inspired, impressed and amused. Do buy the book too!
The real deal April 11, 2007

I first attended lessons with Karel and Eva around 1990 after doing classes elsewhere and stayed with them until job hours took me away, though I still integrate what I learned with them into daily living. They have a superb approach and a detail of understanding born of a dedication to the Chinese internal arts that reaches back many years and is still in evidence as they still study with the Chinese masters.
Books can never replace lessons but a lot can be learned from them. This is not floaty fluffy stuff but the real deal. If that's what you want, then I cannot recommend this book more highly.
