T'ai Chi Ch'uan: The Martial Side.

Paperback. By Michael Babin. T'ai Chi chu'an was developed by pragmatic men who were determined to "do unto others before they had it done unto them." Unfortuneately, the art has assumed a pseudospiritual veneer from its contact with the New Age Movement. This romanticizing of t'ai chi, which is more than a little at odds with its rough and unromantic Chinese beginnings, has resulted in a tendency to ignore or obscure its martial roots. In this book, author Michael Babin seeks to reverse this trend, focusing instead on the martial side of t'ai chi as opposed to Taoist theory or solo forms. It is aimed at those who have learned and practiced one or more forms and want to explore new directions for their training, as well as those who have studied some of the martial aspects of the art and seek now to deepen there skill. It also delves into some of the controversial areas of t'ai chi, including the use of internal energy.
