Tai Chi Combat / By Paul Crompton.

Paperback. In this book Paul Crompton introduces the principles and techniques of the combative form of T’ai Chi to Western readers. The style of T’ai Chi usually practiced in the West emphasizes slow meditative movements (yin style). In presenting the hard fast fighting actions (yang style) T’ai Chi Combat offers a more complete and balanced appreciation of the ancient Chinese Art. Crompton discusses the history of philosophy of T’ai Chi and offers step-by-step instructions with detailed diagrams and photographs. Chinese concepts and techniques are clarified for Western readers by the use of familiar vocabulary and comparisons to everyday experiences. The author recounts Chinese legends and Taoist teachings as well as personal anecdotes and observations to place the practice of T’ai Chi in a wider context and encourage a philosophical appreciation of the art.
