Book Synopsis What is 'Tai Chi'? by : Peter Gilligan
Download or read book What is 'Tai Chi'? written by Peter Gilligan and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2009-11-15 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grew out of a question one of the author's students asked. The answer proved to be longer than either teacher or student could have anticipated. As he looks at the complex art of 'Tai Chi', the author answers questions such as why, unlike in other martial arts, 'Tai Chi' has no gradings; how hard you should try; and how to make the most of your teacher. A wide range of material is covered, including fundamental points about the mechanics of movement and the 'energetic' aspects of practice, as well as the relationship between body, mind and spirit that emerges. The author also provides answers to questions that even experienced practitioners may not have thought to ask, such as what are the levels of self-defense in 'Tai Chi'? How do I refine and develop my 'Tai Chi'? What is the difference between method and technique? How do I put principles into practice? This insightful book covers all aspects of 'Tai Chi', answering questions that are beyond the scope of many classes. It will be of interest to anyone beginning 'Tai Chi' or Qi Gong, as well as to more experienced practitioners at all levels, practitioners of other martial arts, and friends and relatives of "Tai Chi" players who wonder what all the fuss and enthusiasm is about.

Book Synopsis A Barefoot Boxer's Chronicle by : Robin Johnson
Download or read book A Barefoot Boxer's Chronicle written by Robin Johnson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a first translation, back into body-language, of Tai Chi Chuan's profound yet obscure Classics and Aphorisms. Away from words about words toward words about natural movement and martial action. Stillness Defeats Motion, Softness Defeats Hardness, Adhere Follow Neutralize, Double-weighting, Steel Within Cotton, and more than 100 others, are revealed in this Chronicle as fruits of whole-body action. What was meant by these old words? This book finds answers by exploring the ground between a Body-language too complex for words, and Tai Chi boxing techniques largely invisible to outside scrutiny. Whole-body (Body) combat was the true source of the wisdom later reduced to pithy yet confusing statements, pored over by thousands of students and teachers. Thus a key premise of A Barefoot Boxer's Chronicle is that true Tai Chi Chuan (NEI CHUAN, or internal boxing) is not what is seen "out there", but what is to be found "in here", the source of mysterious Intrinsic Energy. This book orients you toward yourself, and conducts you through the myriad ways of Tai Chi technique. These are governed by a handfull of highly refined skills that you may have only glimpsed up to now. Here are chapter-workshops on Stillness and Motion, Softness and Hardness, and key Tai Chi Essentials, such as Eight Dynamic Techniques and Five Tactical Directions. You'll also find integral sections on Elasticity, Tactics, Stepping, Range, and Number. The main text is bolstered and expanded with generous text notes. And there are methods toward reclaiming your lost or hidden fluidity, flexibility, and power. There are many examples of a (often the) major obstacle to your progress, perverse habits acquired unknown from modern lifestyles. So progress can with perseverence be made in your own way with your own body. This complex and integrated chronicle* marks a lifetime of martial arts, including 40 years of real-time practice in Tai Chi Chuan. Does it work? Is there another or a better way? These have been the guides that you too can apply to the content of A Barefoot Boxer's Chronicle. * See also Stalking Yang lu-chan, available at Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: A beautifully clear and accessible explanation of how to live a Taoist life—with an overview of Taoist philosophy—by a renowned Taoist master Taoism isn’t a spiritual extracurricular activity, it’s an integral practice for living all of life to the fullest. Taoist living rests on four pillars—the public, the domestic, the private, and the spirit lives. Not only do Taoists strive to live these four aspects fully and in a balanced way, they also believe there is an outlook and an art to each of them. Here, modern Taoist adept Eva Wong is your guide to living well according to the wisdom of this ancient system. Drawing from ancient Taoist texts, she explains in simple terms the Taoist masters’ approach to the four aspects of life, asking readers to reflect on the balance of their own lives and demonstrating how that balance is the secret infusing your life with health, harmony, and deep satisfaction.
