Includes the following THREE books:
T'ai Chi Ch'uan: A Simplified Method of Calisthenics for Health and Self-Defense is a classic guide by Cheng Man-ch'ing that explores the philosophy, health benefits, and martial principles of Short Form T'ai Chi. Rather than teaching step-by-step postures, the book explains how cultivating deep relaxation and internal energy overcomes physical force without muscular strength, serving as an essential resource for both beginners and dedicated practitioners. ISBN: 9780913028851
The Essence of T'ai Chi Ch'uan: The Literary Tradition is a foundational handbook featuring the first English translations of the classical Chinese texts behind T'ai Chi Ch'uan. Compiled by Benjamin Pang Jeng Lo, Martin Inn, Robert Amacker, and Susan Foe, these core writings—known as the T'ai Chi Classics—detail the art's Taoist philosophy, the balance of yin and yang, and the cultivation of internal energy (chi). Along with practical guidance on posture, body mechanics, and yielding rather than using brute force, the book serves as essential reading connecting modern practitioners of all styles to the tradition's historical roots. ISBN: 9780913028630
T'ai Chi Ch'uan Ta Wen (Questions and Answers on T'ai Chi Ch'uan) preserves the authentic principles and original spirit of the martial art at a time when its growing popularity risked diluting its core teachings. Compiled from Chen’s personal questions and the direct instruction he received while studying under his teacher, the concise 64-page manual uses a practical question-and-answer format to clarify essential concepts such as posture, relaxation, internal energy (ch'i), breathing, pushing hands, and martial applications.
