I read this book in the 70's.. During that time I remember only "trying to learn the movements", and the "relaxation instructions"... Honestly...I did not learn anything... with the years and a lot, a lot of more reading about Taiji and learning directly from experts, and seen daily the amount of "youtube"'s information...then you one start to "understand" Taiji a little... and when you can find so many different versions and "styles" of ONE ART.... then you understand that most of them had not grasp the real true meaning of taiji... there may be not one true but many... Then one open his eyes and start 'understanding" it... it will take time to UNDERSTAND Taiji... This is an excellent book! But understand that this is just a book... even a good one... but YOU WILL NEVER LEARN TAICHI WITH A BOOK!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My paper copy was falling apart, so I got the digital version. *by F***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2014* I practice this specific style of Tai Chi. This book is the one that I have used for 20 years to remind me what I am supposed to be doing. There are pictures with each posture, though in the e-book mode, often they are on the next page or the previous page - not the author's fault, just a casualty of the e-book age. The steps of the Yang Style, short form, are here. The exact steps are here. Do this. Then do that. Then put your hand here. This is, often, what I need to be reminded what I learned, or what I should have learned.There are other books about the various styles of Tai Chi, there are videos on YouTube, DVD's galore: For me, this book is a must-have for my Tai Chi e-bookshelf: I do this form. He wrote the book! All I have to do, is do it! ### ⭐⭐⭐ not that clear *by B***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2005* I've practiced CMC's short form for a few years before I read this book. The bulk of the book is form sequence pictures, but as another reviewer wrote, these are mirror-image pictures and I found them awkward to use as well. Another book, "The Tai Chi Book : Refining and Enjoying a Lifetime of Practice" by Robert Chuckrow, explains the tai ji concepts clearer and the form sequence pictures are not mirrored, even though he's writing about the same thing and the same 37 posture form. Learning the flow of the form from any sequence of pictures is difficult because it's hard to capture the flow between them, but the mirrored pictures in this makes it harder to compare body positions. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/7279882-tai-chi-the-supreme-ultimate-exercise-for-health-sport-self](https://www.desertcart.us/products/7279882-tai-chi-the-supreme-ultimate-exercise-for-health-sport-self) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
