Ai Chi T'ai Chi According to the I Ching: Embodying the Principles of the Book of Changes by Stuart Alve Olson, Reveals the close relationship between the eight basic postures of T'ai Chi and the hexagrams of the I Ching. * As handed down in the teachings of the Yellow Emperor and Chang San-Feng. * Explains the physical and spiritual benefits that result from the practice of the Before Heaven T'ai Chi form. * An essential reference book for any serious student of T'ai Chi and the I Ching. T'ai Chi is a physical expression of Taoist thought -- a philosophy in motion. The relationship between the I Ching, Taoist philosophy, and T'ai Chi is well established in many of the classical texts and teachings handed down by the Yellow Emperor and Chang San-Feng, yet it has essentially remained a mystery in the West. Stuart Alve Olson, a longtime student of renowned T'ai Chi Ch'uan Master T. T. Liang, shows how the hexagrams of the I Ching relate to the eight basic postures of T'ai Chi, and how together they comprise the orderly sequence of the postures in the Before Heaven T'ai Chi form. The practice of this form initiates a process of internal alchemy that allows for the stimulation and accumulation of chi through the major energy systems of the body. Physically, this process restores youthful flexibility. Spiritually, it frees the mind to roam the sublime Tao. Because the Before Heaven sequence of postures is the foundation of all T'ai Chi forms, this book provides valuable advice for all practitioners, regardless of the style they practice or the depth of their experience. An essential reference book for any serious student of Taoism, T'ai Chi According to the I Ching is an invaluable guide to how even the most esoteric aspects of Chinese philosophy are firmly rooted in a physical practice.
T'Ai Chi as a Path of Wisdom by Linda Myoki Lehrhaupt, T'ai chi teacher Linda Lehrhaupt reveals how t'ai chi can be a transformative practice, greatly enhancing the quality of one's life. Unlike many t'ai chi books that tend to focus on form and philosophy, Lehrhaupt presents an earthy view of this esoteric martial art, sharing stories from her own life and the lives of her students to show how t'ai chi practice can be a vehicle for profound self-development. This book illuminates issues that are a challenge for all t'ai chi practitioners such as finding the motivation for daily practice, overcoming obstacles in training, and taking your practice to a new level. She includes practical exercises that can be used by students for solo practice or by teachers for groups. A helpful appendix section answers many frequently asked questions about t'ai chi training.
Sun style T'ai Chi Ch'uan - Sun style (孫氏) T'ai Chi Ch'üan was developed by Sun Lu-t'ang (孫祿堂, 1861-1932), who was considered expert in two other internal martial arts styles: Hsing-i Ch'uan (Xingyiquan) and Pa Kua Chang (Baguazhang) before he came to study T'ai Chi. He was also considered an accomplished Neo-Confucian and Taoist scholar, especially in the I Ching. Wu/Hao style T'ai Chi Ch'uan - The Wu or Wu/Hao style (武氏 or 武/郝氏) of T'ai Chi Ch'üan of Wu Yu-hsiang (武禹襄, 1813-1880), is a separate family style from the more popular Wu style (吳氏) of Wu Chien-ch'üan. Wu Yu-hsiang's style was third among the five T'ai Chi families in seniority and is fifth in terms of popularity. 24 Form (Simplified Form) T'ai Chi Ch'uan - 24 Form (Simplified Form) T'ai Chi Ch'uan is the result of an effort by the Chinese Sports Committee which brought together four T'ai Chi experts in 1956. These experts truncated the Yang family hand form to 24 postures. Wu style T'ai Chi Ch'uan - The Wu style (吳氏) T'ai Chi Ch'uan of Wu Ch'uan-yü (Wu Quanyou) and Wu Chien-ch'üan (Wu Jianquan) is the second most popular form of T'ai Chi Ch'uan in the world today, after the Yang style, and fourth in terms of family seniority. This style is often confused in the West with the Wu style (武氏) founded by Wu Yu-hsiang. aichi
