The publication in 1934 of Yang Chengfu's book, Essence and Applications of Taijiquan (Taijiquan Tiyong Quanshu) marked a milestone in the modern evolution of the art of taijiquan. Using what is best-termed demonstration narrative, the author presents form postures and suggested applications from his own perspective, as he performed them. This methodology renders Yang Chengfu's direct, hands-on teaching of the art with such immediacy and liveliness that the reader experiences the master’s teaching much as his students did.This English translation finally makes Yang Chengfu's classic work available to taijiquan enthusiasts in the West. It includes notes and commentary that clarify the author's frequent classical and literary turns of phrase and elucidate the philosophical and political underpinnings that shape the text. The translator investigates and compares several early taijiquan books in order to help explain the roles played by two of Yang Chengfu's students, Dong Yingjie an
Editorial : “I highly recommend The Essence and Applications of Taijiquan as a valuable resource for Taiji players, with the actual words of Yang Chengfu to guide them in their practice.”—Dojo Rat
Excellent selection of Taiji for any level of martial artist. This book is a must for every architect major or enthusiast. I also appreciated his list of indicators to assess poverty level - although this was somewhat glossed over in the text, these measurable outcomes are applicable to any on-the-ground assessment of functional poverty or non-poverty. Glickman traveled with the New York franchise to less than glorious destinations like Fort Wayne, Rochester and Syracuse. But because her mom didn't know English names for many of the ingredients, she could never duplicate her mom's soup. This book is a terrific resource for anyone who works with gradeschool children and would like to incorporate fun fitness. With his time of service concluded and back in the US, he is still wrapped in the deception and denial that drugs provide. This is a rare gem, rescued from the oblivion of an attic trunk and edited by Kenneth Gorrell.
