Description
This is the first of two volumes for students of Tai Chi Chuan who have learned the form, begun pushing hands, and who are now looking for further information. This volume discusses general principles and theory and the application of Chi. This book focuses on the martial essence of Tai Chi Chuan and explores in depth the subject of Jing (internal martial power), general Tai Chi Theory, and the application of Chi in the Tai Chi form. Because Jing training is essential to martial Tai Chi, this work is a valuable reference that no serious practitioner should be without. It contains a comprehensive training plan for Jing (power) development and will let you understand the difference between true Jing (internal power) and Li (muscular power). Furthermore you'll learn the essential role your mind plays in Tai Chi and Jing practice.
