Advanced Yang Style TAI CHI Chuan, Vol. 2: Martial Applications

If you understand the principles and theory of Tai Chi chuan and its Jings, but do not know the martial techniques, your martial art is still half empty. It is as if you had learned how a car works, but did not know how to drive it. It cannot be denied that understanding the theory will help you to progress faster. However, since every form in the sequence was carefully designed to most efficiently attack and defend, you will also profit greatly from researching the application of each form to discover its potential and why it was designed just so. This volume focuses on the martial applications of the many techniques in the solo Tai Chi sequence, the two person fighting set, and pushing hands. It teaches you how to analyze forms and discover their hidden combat applications, including Chin Na, Downing the enemy, and Cavity strikes. Volume 2 along with Volume 1, opens the door to many of those "hidden secrets" that mar tial artists have coveted for centuries. In this volume, applications for every form in the Tai Chi solo sequence are presented. This will lay the foundation of your knowledge of the martial aspects of Tai Chi Chuan.Yang, Jwing-Ming is the author of 'Advanced Yang Style TAI CHI Chuan, Vol. 2: Martial Applications' with ISBN 9780940871038 and ISBN 0940871033.
