Even though this review was provided to me by YMAA, I am under no obligation to provide a positive review.

As a martial artist for almost twenty years, I am always on the lookout for a quality reference book. As my body ages more, I am particularly looking for ways to stay in shape and centered without the wear and tear on my joints that harder styles create.

I have read some of Dr. Yang's other books, and I have been impressed by the quality and direction of those books. This was no exception. The text and pictures were very helpful and detailed. They allowed me to branch into Yang style tai-chi easily and effectively, enough so that I am adding it to my daily routine.

I highly recommend this book for anyone looking for quality tai chi instruction.
