Your go-to illustrated guide to the practices, history, and philosophy of the popular Yang style of taijiquan
Fu Zhongwen's classic guide offers the best documentation available of the Yang style of taijiquan. The superbly detailed form instructions and historic line art drawings are based on Fu's many years as a disciple of Yang Chengfu, taijiquan's legendary founder. Also included are concise descriptions of fixed-step, moving-step, and da lu push hands practices. Additional commentary by translator Louis Swaim provides key insight into the text's philosophical language and imagery, further elucidating the art's cultural and historical foundations.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Blue Snake BooksISBN-13:9781583941522ISBN-10:1583941525UPC:9781583941522Book Category:Sports & RecreationBook Subcategory:Martial Arts, Reference, HistorySize:9.02 x 6.06 x 0.75 inchesWeight:0.96Product ID:SCPCJP64DB

He has been a taijiquan practitioner for over thirty years.
