Step-by-step Tai Chi

This manual of Tai Chi offers an illustrated programme of graduated exercise routines and a step-by-step demonstration of a short sequence. The slow, flowing movements incorporate and harmonize some of the most important elements common to classical Tai Chi styles such as Chen, Yang, Wu, Shin and Ng. It is a programme of beneficial health care that is a powerful antidote to stress. The book is suitable for all newcomers to Tai Chi, as well as students of all styles. It presents Master Lam Kam Chuen's "Small circle form", developed for his students and readers of this book, and requiring little time and a minimum of space. It is presented in four levels of advancement, with helpful hints and general guidance that help readers understand the background aims of Tai Chi. Master Lam Kam Chuen is a consultant to Gaia Books's "The Way of Harmony", which followed the BBC series, "The Way of the Warrior", and is the author of "The Way of Energy".
