Book Reviews of Master Cheng's New Method of Taichi Ch'uan Self-Cultivation
Book Review: Great Reference Material
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the book my teacher used for reference. It is a great little book which I still use it every once in a while to refresh my memory. It has something for both the advanced student, and a complete beginner.
It gives a clear overall definition of the postures and stances. However, some of the transitions are not clearly defined, and are therefore hard to follow for someone unfamiliar with this particular form. Weight distribution and foot placement diagrams are a big help when it comes to shifting the body from posture to posture. This is a big plus, since Cheng M'an Ching placed more emphasis on straight back and equilibrium.
If you don't have access to an instructor and want to learn the CMC form, this is the book I would recommend.
