http://teapotmonk-thebeancurdboxer.blogspot.com/p/tai-chi-books.html

Tai Chi is a wonderful art to learn, but for many beginners the different styles and classes to choose between are confusing and unclear. Many books promote one style or school over another, one teacher or learning method above another. Most beginners however, simply want straightforward answers to simple questions. 'This is Tai Chi: 50 Essential Questions and Answers' sets out to give all beginners just that.

'This is Tai Chi' is a short Author video describing the new book that is divided into nine distinct subjects including: The Basics, History, Tai Chi as a Martial Art, Health benefits, Energy sources, Form Practice, Styles, and applications. Each subject is comprised of a series of "Essential"questions for the beginner:
What is Tai Chi? What do the words mean? What are the origins of the art? Why are there different styles and what does this mean for me? Is Tai Chi a martial art or health practice? Will I have to wear a uniform? How best can I learn the Form? How long does it take to learn? And many more...

This easily readable book, full of anecdotes, facts and humour, answers all the questions you will have about this ancient art, and is all you need to help you decide if Tai Chi is right for you.

With over 20 years experience of teaching Tai Chi (Including monthly classes for absolute beginners), Paul Read writes in a simple yet insightful way that will help you understand the basic principles of this noble art and how to apply them to your daily life.

This is Tai Chi: 50 Essential Questions and Answers is the ultimate introduction and guide to starting a class of Tai Chi. If you are looking for an overview of Tai Chi before starting a class, then make sure you read this book first.
