Yang Style Traditional Long FormGordon Muirs book Yang Style Traditional Long Form T'ai Chi Ch'uan: As Taught by Master T. T. Liang is now available for purchase online and through your local bookstore.

Amazon

Gordon studied directly with Master Liang from 1981 until 1988 and then spent several more years working with senior students. At the time of its writing Gordon had more than 20 years experience with Yang style Tai Chi. His understanding of the art is not based solely on work done on the long form but also on his intense practise with Cane, Broadsword, Sword and the two person exercises including Push Hands, Ta Lu and San Shou.

 

At 225 pages the book is full of interesting photos, training drills, anecdotes from the master and a very detailed look at form performance.

The book features a detailed look at the physical mechanics of performing good T'ai Chi. It is is divided into three separate sections including:

  • Writings of Master T. T. Liang
  • Foundation training
  • Yang Style Traditional Long Form posture details
