For the accomplished practitioner of Taijiquan. The photos of the old masters doing the Yang style sword (jian) set are worth the price of the book. The masters are Chen Wei-ming, Hsiung Yang-ho, and Liang Tung-tsai.- Chip Ellis
A serious, articulate treatment of Tai Chi Sword philosophy.

Tai Chi Thirteen Sword: A Sword Master's Manual is the latest title in the Wu-T'ang Mountain Martial Arts Series and is the first serious treatment of Tai Chi Sword methods and philosophy available in English. Tai Chi Thirteen Sword clearly demonstrates that Sword practice is not only a complete system, but an art in and of itself. Readers and practitioners need not be trained in conjunction with any other T'ai exercise regime. Going far beyond a mere description of the traditional Yang Style Sword Form, Tai Chi Thirteen Sword also provides detailed posture instructions with photographs; international principles and applications for each of the Sword From postures; Warm-up methods and Two-Person Training Exercises; the Thirteen Secret Sword Meanings and their applications; methods for training the Sword fingers; and a pictorial essay of three famous Sword Masters performing Traditional T'ai Chi Sword Form. Stuart Olson is an internationally recognized teacher, translator, and author of numerous works on martial arts and Asian philosophy.
