About The Essence of T’ai Chi

This insightful translation and analysis of three core martial arts texts distills the fundamental principles of T’ai Chi for beginner students

The deepest benefits of T’ai Chi cannot be realized without an understanding of its underlying principles. This book presents these principles through translations of three core classics of T’ai Chi that are often considered the “T’ai Chi Bible,” accompanied by the author’s insightful commentary. Master Liao demonstrates how to increase the body’s inner energy (ch’i) and transform it into power, health, and well-being. By reading the clear and precise explanations of the fundamental principles of T’ai Chi, students can develop a more complete understanding of the art and philosophy of this traditional martial art.
