About this Item

Fourth edition, formerly "The Art of Taoist Tai Chi : Cultivating Mind and Body / L'Art du Tai Chi Taoiste: Cultiver l'Esprit et le Corps", English and French text, b/w illustrations featuring Master Moy Lin-Shin, spiral binding. Small curl at corners, light creasing from page handling and light soil to outer edges. Covers have edge/rub wear and light creasing. Actual book for sale pictured. Preface (text from the older edition): "This book offers an introduction to the 108 slow, gentle, and continuous movements which make up the basic form of Taoist Tai Chi, as demonstrated by the founder of the Taoist Tai Chi Society, Master Moy Lin-Shin. In addition, it gives an overview of the history, philosophy, health benefits, and martial arts aspect of Taoist Tai Chi. Rather than providing a step-by-step guide to the mastery of Taoist Tai Chi, the book's illustrations of the movements of the Tai Chi Set are intended primarily as a reminder for those studying the art. The photographs included here should help to give students an image of the basic movements as well as their general sequence. But they should not replace interaction with a qualified instructor, whose supervision can enable students to realize the maximum potential for health improvement, relaxation, fitness, and spiritual development inherent in Taoist Tai Chi." 22.5 x 28.1 x 1.2cm, wt700g Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
