The Intrinsic Energies
of T'ai Chi Ch'uan
Translated by Stuart Alve Olson. 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", 194 pages,
paperback. A landmark translation of T'ai Chi's most profound text: the
Yang family's secret training journals on the nature and practical applications
of intrinsic energy. Olson's commentary explicates a work that will be an
essential reference for any practitioner. The material translated for this
volume comes from "Discourses on Intrinsic Energy", a Chinese
section of the works by Chen Kung with very abstuse theories, which has
defied translation until now. |
