Book Reviews of Taijiquan, Classical Yang Style: The Complete Form and Qigong

Book Review: alot of theory and detailed photographs
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the ideal book and dvd package to learn Yang style Tai Chi Chuan from, you can learn from your own home if you get the dvd,Taijiquan, Classical Yang Style DVD (YMAA Tai Chi) Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming, and if you have enough space to move around in.
(The form will require a minimum space of 6 x 6 meters.)
Also, you should get some large standing mirrors if you decide to learn by yourself, so you can see what you are doing.

Roughly half the book covers theory.

It then teaches some Qigong warm-ups, before going into details of the Yang form (both the short and long versions) with both photos and text explanations as you go along.
As with all Dr.Yang's books, in my experience, the explanations are easy to follow...but you still need the dvd to fully comprehend the movements.
