REVIEWS

Excellent Book for the Serious Tai Chi Player, A Customer (Amazon reviewer) June, 2000

I found this book to be very helpful in my study of tai chi. The words of the masters translated by the author are usefull to all levels of tai chi players. It is especially usefull to those seeking to reach a higher level of push hands.I really appreciate the effort by Jwing Ming to translate so many text and make them available to the martial artist who only speak english.
