Good general information, poor form instruction.

It is not possible for me to study Tai Chi with a master so I must relay on books and video tapes to learn the forms. The Tai Chi Workbook lacks sufficient graphic information about the postures and transitions to enable me to do this. McFarlans book, while lacking the general information, does a much clearer job of demonstrating the form.

An excellent, thoughtful introduction

Paul Cromptons treatment of Master Cheng Man-Chings Tai Chi form is incredible, good illustrations and explanations, plus a realistic view of the art in self defense and philosophy. Cromptons work is to be commended.

The spiritual world of Aikido made accessible to Westerners

Taking the esoteric Shinto based beliefs of the Founder of Aikido, Morihei Ueshiba, Saotome Sensei translates these ideas into Western terms using examples from natural science, physics, psychology, and mathematics. Not a technique book! This is the premier explanation of Aikido philosophy in terms comprehensible to the average Westerner.There are very few teachers who had more exposure to the Founder on a daily basis, training with O-Sensei for over fifteen years! If you only have one Aikido book, this should be it!
