Thank you for the great feedback and comments on my 40th
Anniversary book. Julie and Margo did an awesome job! If you would, please write
a review on the Lulu page. Thank you!
This month’s book suggestion is one I’ve talked about
for decades. Parts of this book have been available for years, and Paul Brennan
has done an excellent job translating the whole work. Now you can get this
book, the Bible of Taiji, bound in a huge, complete translation. Master Choi
called it the best book on Taiji because it showed the correct training sequence
from standing, to qigong, to single movement training, to forms, sensitivity,
weapons and so much more! Plus, Classics, training poems, and an extensive look
at the energies we work with in Taiji. I can’t recommend this book enough.
Yang Family Taijiquan, barehand, sword, saber, pole,
and sparring compilation. By Chen Yanlin, translated by Chen Faxing.
Alas my brother, you passed out the West Gate. We'll meet again to train, and laugh, and catch up....
Let me know if you or anyone you know is looking for
beginner Taiji classes. I will publish an even bigger list of teachers in next
month’s newsletter.
Thank you for the birthday cards, presents, surprise
party, and kind words, I am blessed!
