The Big Book of Tai Chi by Bruce Kumar Frantzis
Frantzis spent over 40 years studying internal martial arts and is the first Westerner to be recognized as a Master of Tai Chi in China. In this book he shares his knowledge of this powerful energy art and shows how it works on the health of the body and mind. Tai Chi was originally developed as an effective martial art, but now people all over the world are turning to this Chinese energy system to help them cope with stress, boost immunity, lower blood pressure and enjoy long-lasting health. This text provides inspiration and practical information about using Tai Chi for health in a way that is fully accessible to Western readers, yet true to its Eastern origins. It illustrates and clearly describes Tai Chi moves from the four major styles, explaining the particular benefits of these movements and in what way they encourage the flow of chi energy around the body. Tai Chi is low impact so can be practised by the young, strong and fit as well as older, infirm or overweight readers.
