Paperback.
An Annotated Translated including a Commentary by Chen Weiming.
The Taijiquan Classics: An Annotated Translation first takes the reader on a journey through the colorful history of taijiquan, its personalities, and its controversies. Taking a close look at the Classics, the book then poses questions about their authorship, dating, contents, and transmission.
Finally, author Barbara Davis offers a fresh translation and thorough annotation of the five core texts of the Yang Family Classics and Chen Weiming's commentary from the 1920s. Chen's commentary appears here for the first time in English. Using these texts as a springboard, Davis explores the meaning of the Classics - and how they can help people deepen their practice.
