Tai Chi: The Ultimate Trainer's Guide to Workouts & Fitness (Anatomy of Fitness) - Improve Balance, Strength & Mindfulness for Home, Studio & Outdoor Practice

I have been working at Tai Chi seriously for over seven years. If this book had been available when I started I would not have had to search so many other sources for basic information and inspiration. I would never recommend learning Tai Chi only from books or DVDs, but if someone insisted that I had to recommend such a book I would suggest this one. The author has explained history, basic concepts, and the traditional "24 form" so clearly that this book would be an invaluable supplement to any introductory training.And for myself, I am always looking for ways to refine my Tai Chi movements, and get more out of Tai Chi. "Anatomy of Fitness: Tai Chi" has so much information and is so well written that I will always keep it handy as a reference. The muscle illustrations in the book are well drawn and well documented. Right now they contain more information than I need to know, but they are not a distraction. In the future I am sure they will help in dealing with some of the pain issues that I am faced with.So, if you are looking for a book on Tai Chi that will serve you at the beginning of your Tai Chi journey, and continue to serve you during that journey, this is it!
