Book Reviews of Compact Tai Chi: Combined Forms for Pratice in Limited Space
Book Review: A very nice effort
Summary: 4 Stars
First let me preface this review by stating clearly that I am not a fan of modern competition forms where a little bit of Chen, Yang, Wu and Sun style have been taken and then put into a blender and mixed. Secondly, in my opinion, there already exists a 'compact tai chi form' - its called Sun style form (small circle). However, if you already know and practice Yang style, you may find the tai chi presented here useful for your practice. The book is a nice teaching aid, the forms have been well thought out and put together rather seamlessly, the illustrations are clear, and the author is a very good tai chi teacher. For example I personally like the circular stepping method for cloud hands presented here. This book is a very nice effort.
Summary of Compact Tai Chi: Combined Forms for Pratice in Limited Space
Many of us don't have enough space to practice the traditional Tai Chi "forms." Tsao coils the traditional linear form into a circular format, taking only one-quarter the area required to practice conventional Tai Chi. Each posture is illustrated to demonstrate the movement in detail. Tsao presents four independent sequences to meet the needs of all skill levels. Index. 530 photographs.General Books
