Trade paperback book | $16.95
Taijiquan practitioners around the world have used the Taijiquan Classics as a touchstone for almost two centuries, yet much about the Classics has remained mysterious and unexamined. This text first takes the reader on a journey through the colorful history of taijiquan, its personalities, and its controversies. Looking closely at the Classics, the author poses questions concerning their authorship, dating, contents, and transmission. This thoroughly annotated translation of the five core texts of the Yang Family Classics includes Chen Wei-Ming's commentary from the 1920s, published in English for the first time. The author's exploration of the meaning of the Classics is a thoughtful contribution that will help taijiquan enthusiasts deepen their practice.
