Excellent Tai Chi Chuan Book!5
I am a beginner to the study of Tai Chi Chuan, and I was looking for a book that would satisfy my overall curiosity of various aspects of Tai Chi Chuan. This is the book! Written very well by Wong Kiew Kit, it reads smoothly and is an enjoyable read. Very hard to put it down once you start. Packed with so much information I plan to read it a second time and will use it as a reference frequently. Do you want to learn more than just the health aspects of Tai Chi Chuan? Then this book will explore the martial art, the history, the physical, and the philosophical areas of Tai Chi Chuan to help you get the most out of it's practice. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone interested in or currently studying Tai Chi Chuan. This is the perfect book to start off your Tai Chi Chuan collection.
