Tai Chi Fundamentals® Program Reviews by Tai Chi, Martial Arts, Qigong and Sports Professionals:
" Tai Chi Fundamentals® is the simplest and easiest to learn. It is a unique exercise for all ages and physical conditions. The form lubricates all the joints, eases the mind, relaxes the body and enhances balance. It is a perfect form of movement ..with no side effects. It is good for people with physical limitations and discomfort." —William C.C. Chen, Grand Master, T'ai Chi Ch'uan
“Provides a simple, systematic approach which maintains the integrity of the traditional Yang style form.”— American College of Sports Medicine’s Health and Fitness Journal
“I recommend this beautifully illustrated book to the novice who seeks a door to enter the practice of taiji. The seasoned practitioner may find the book deceptively simple; however upon closer review, Ms. Yu provides an important study of the basic movements of taiji and teaching methods that will enhance an advanced student’s or teacher’s appreciation of the form.” —Noah Nunberg, review in Journal of Asian Martial Arts
“Health care providers have long needed a concise but easy-to-follow guide to Tai Chi, both for their own well-being and for patient education. Yu and Johnson's Tai Chi Fundamentals does the trick. It will be of value to anyone who practices or is ready to fall in love with this wonderful art.”
—Kenneth S. Cohen, M.A. author, The Way of Qigong and Healthy Breathing
