Book Reviews of Tai Chi Secrets of the Yang Style: Chinese Classics, Translations, Commentary

Book Review: Read to simplicity
Summary: 5 Stars

The book gives people who can't read Chinese the possibility to read into the works of the ancient Yang-style decendants.

By presenting a direct translation of the originals YJM gives you the possibility to read and explain the text - with your own practical experience - to your own opinion. Therefore it gives you the possibility to grow further in your own development. Furthermore it gives directly knowledge of the - for many people not acceptable - origin of Tai Chi, the martial arts. No secrets and flowting techniques, but plain and simpel, right to the point telling where to look in your own Tai Chi.

We make Tai Chi difficult, but it isn't, you just have to train and look the right things, make them your own. The book says where to look.

I agree with the fact that you will need a certain practice experience to understand what is written, but when you read the book several times in the years to come and practice, you will see different things in the text with time.

With the commentaries of YJM over the direct translations I do not always agree, but at least he will put you in the right direction to look. It is impossible to write out, what you have to experience through practice! So buy the book, read several chapters and look for the things in your training.

Time will tell you!

Summary of Tai Chi Secrets of the Yang Style: Chinese Classics, Translations, Commentary

Secrets of the Tai Chi Masters Revealed!

Since ancient times Tai Chi Chuan has been practiced as a holistic mind/body fitness system, bringing immense benefits for practitioners in health, longevity, relaxation, and concentration. But it was also practiced as an effective and deadly martial art. Because of this, the masters rarely disclosed their secrets, guarding them as closely as they would military secrets. They preserved their profound insights in obscure songs, poems, and classics, revealing only to those they considered trustworthy and ready. That is, until now. Tai Chi Secrets of the Yang Style contains secrets kept hidden in the Yang family for generations and only revealed to the public in the last two decades.

The majority of the secrets found in this book were written directly by Yang, Ban-Hou, second generation lineage of the Yang family, a master well known for his deep understanding of theory and for the manifestation of martial power (Jin). Now you can reap the benefits of this wisdom and practical experience to deepen and refine your own Tai Chi. Discover ways to reach the essence of your Form and take your Push Hands to higher levels. Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming has translated these classics from the original Chinese, and has written commentaries to make them more accessible to contemporary minds.

Immerse yourself in the secrets of the Yang Style, the world's most popular style. You'll find Tai Chi Secrets of the Yang Style an invaluable resource for understanding your art.

* Can be used with any style of tai chi chuan.
