 24 Step Tai Chi Chuan October 1, 2009
H. Klemm (Sacramento, CA)
This book is about the 'new' 24 step Yang style tai chi, as
well as the 48 step set. The book has good photos along with
well written instructions about the different moves as well
as the actual applications. The author is truly a master, and
he has the ability to explain well tai chi movements in a book.
There are many other books out there about all this, but this
book and the author deserve a 5 star rating.

No instruction on this DVD.... Not the 48 form I was looking for..For me it was a wast of money.... very disapointing from this Grandmaster... his TV show is very good..Yang Style 48 form..without instuction it os just a movie.. Terry Dunn's Tape is Excerlant... just perfect for learning from.

I received this book along with the DVD "Simplified Taci Chi Chuan" 24 & 48 postures and would definitely recommend purchasing both. This book talks about the history of tai chi, guideline for body movements and breathing, warm-up exercises, a VERY helpful diagram that shows you exactly how you will be moving, and then throughly goes through all the postures. Great for anyone, but definitely recommended for the beginner. Very interesting and helpful. Thank you.
Excellent book March 5, 2008

It is a very good book for individual to learn and for coach to refer.
