This book presents the very heart of Liang's teachings, including his own version of the Yang style 150 posture solo form. Taken from T.T.'s own notes, this is the most comprehensive description of the form ever presented. Rare interviews and articles by T.T. Liang explore the basic principles and deeper meaning of this increasingly popular martial art.
The remarkable photography both captures the full power, grace and subtlety of T'ai Chi while providing a detailed count by count presentation of each posture.
T.T. Liang's long-time protege, Stuart Olson, author of Cultivating the Ch'i, compiled the material, contributes a special introduction of the role of imagination in T'ai Chi and appears with T.T. Liang in the book's photography.
'Master T.T. Liang is a Chinese martial arts treasure in western society. He was a true pioneer in the development of T'ai Chi Ch'uan in the United States of America. With his translations of ancient T'ai Chi documents, western T'ai Chi practitioners are able to find an accurate guide and path for their training.'-Dr. Yang Jwing-ming author of Yang Style T'ai Chi Ch'uan and Ch'i-Kung: Its Roots and Origins.
