Beginning T'ai Chi
By Tri Thong Dang. 6" x 9", 67 pages, paperback. In this handy
guide, Tri Thong Dang, who has been an instructor of the Chen, Yang, Zhao,
and Tai-Mantis system of Tai Chi Chuan for over three decades, describes

Master Tri's concise, but lucid, descriptions highlight the spiritual essence
of the form and at the same time display its graceful simplicity. With over
160 clear, easy-to-understand illustrations, this volume is a great introduction
to the world of Tai Chi Chuan. |
