Simplifying T'ai Chi

Based on 30+ years of practising & teaching, a compilation of information for beginners to dispell misconceptions & give guidance on style to learn, class & teacher. Basic posture & safe movement are introduced with information on simpler TC terminology & concepts to answer many of the questions you may ask (or wish you'd asked). Using 16 years experience teaching traditional & modified health TC, & of working with experienced teachers world-wide, Trevor explains basic principles so all ages & abilities can learn safely & experience the health-giving benefits that TC brings. Intended to supplement, not replace a teacher, simplified content gives reassurance & help for non-martial novices. Descriptions of basic posture & adaptations for health are given, but teaching of specific form or style is left to the teacher. A few QiGong, Yang & Sun style movement sequences are included for simple practice, reference or comparison taster, but not as a teacher substitute. The 2017 edition now introduces Zhan Zhuang.
