(More customer reviews)This book is absolutely delightful, from its discussion of the theory behind the art to its amazingly in-depth tracing of its history. For the past year and a half, I have been searching for something to heal my Chronic pain disorder that effects my upper body, and has effected my classical guitar-playing and musicianship more than I like. Well, a few months ago I picked up the Sophia Delza book at my library and began studying from that, but I wasn't completely satisfied with discussion of forms and postures, so I decided to buy a book, and after an exhausting search I finally came away with this book which not only seemed to satisfied my requirements, but left me with an excellent feeling. I was most attracted to the fact that he was using the Tai Chi as a healing approach and that he had been practicing for upwards of 50 years. Well, let me just say that everyday I feel better, and my pain is constantly receding, I have a whole new outlook on life, and the calmness I have learned has helped me to develop my musicianship. I appreciate Master Huang's approach of allowing the reader to bring his own things to the practice such as relaxation methods, and at first I was perturbed that he didn't offer breathing methods on each of the postures, but it is inferred that one cannot learn the breathing for all movements unless they have learned the postures perfectly. Actually, one may notice, however, that he does describe in a brief passage what movements exhaling and inhaling require. This book is a beautiful description and application of the technique that will be helpful to anyone.
