Good Program
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Good book for the novice. One of the better books out there, but you have to pay close attention to the instructions as the pictures are rather sparse.The chi kung section has some good exercises(some of which are part of the 8 peices of brocade which is so popular).Overall I like this book and is a good intro to the Wang style which makes it even more intersting.
Good for beginners wishing to learn this style of T'ai Chi
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Very good basic intro to one style of T'ai Chi. Warning to David Carradine fans: although there are a number of photos of David, most of the photos are not of him and it's not possible to tell how much of the text was actually written by David himself. However, you should be able to learn this form from the book, especially if you also have the videotape. It's always better to have a real live teacher, but this is the next best thing.
An easy to follow Tai Chi workbook

David Carradine's Tai Chi Workout is a very good book for the tai chi beginner. The sections about the history and theory of tai chi are written in a manner that any interested Westerner can grasp without being put off by too much mystery. The best part though, are the photos of each position. These photos are full page size with a short explanation and name of the stance at the bottom. This is a great book that you can really learn from
