Literature
Tai Chi for You – The Comprehensive Guide to Tai Chi at Home for Everybody - Ronnie Robinson
144 pages £10.99 + £1.00 postage.
Tai Chi for You (TFY) is probably one of the thorough guides to tai chi aimed primarily at beginner. When first starting on your tai chi journey it is best to work on establishing the basic principles and progressing from there. This full-colour guidebook is divided into chapters beginning with Introducing Tai Chi, How to Practice, Warm-up Exercises and then leading to the Movements of Tai Chi (which, in this instance, is the 1st Section of the Cheng Man-Ching Hand Form), Partner Exercises & Meditation. Beautifully illustrated with clear, practical visuals that guide you easily through the range of simple and accessible exercises, warm-ups, relaxation and loosening techniques, before going through the steps of the form. Each transition of the form is broken into a number of sequential images, accompanying texts and graphics which point you through then important aspects.
For anyone learning from home, or attending a class, but needing extra guidance on principles and practice TFY is a worthy investment.
