Review Zhang Fuxing's Handbook Of T'ai Chi Ch'uan Exercises incorporates all three forms derived from the Yang style: Short Form, Long Form, and Push Hands. Along with more than 600 illustrations, Zhang provides easy-to-understand descriptions of the postures and movements used in each form. Two charts are included to show the foot position and body orientation for both the Short and long Forms. T'ai Chi Ch'uan can improve circulation, digestion, coordination. It can heighten awareness and help achieve and maintain prober body weight. It strengthens joints and builds flexibility while improving physical, mental and emotional health. T'ai Chi Ch'uan also increases the immune function, prevents illness, slows the aging process, and prolongs life. People of any age and almost any physical condition can reap benefits using T'ai Chi Ch'uan as demonstrated by Fuxing's Handbook Of T'ai Chi Ch'uan Exercises. -- Midwest Book Review Read more
