Description

"Dr. Zhang's exercises are an excellent supplement to Tai Chi Chuan. I recommend this unique & delightful book for every Tai Chi practitioner."--75 year old Tai Chi grand master Abraham Liu. "....The most unique feature of your book is of course the potential for relaxation & stress reduction, that this form of training can possibly provide an individual. This is a feature often missing in many of our typical Western activities...."--Dr. Ann-Kailani Johns, Physical Education Dept. UCSD. "This book has helped me develop some basic skills to run more efficiently & in a more relaxed manner, lessening my chances of reinjuring my back. More specifically, the stretching exercises have been enormously helpful...."--Dr. Richard H. Needle, School of Public Health, U of M & marathon runner. "Since using the exercises, my running speed has improved, & my upper body strength has improved to the point where I may now compete in varsity pole-vaulting events. In addition, the mental calming effect of Tai-ji is helping me concentrate on my homework assignments."--16 year old Sean Burke.
