Description ▲
Something tantalizing is brewing in the substratum-underworld of Tai Chi Chuan. Charles Belvedere, a long time instructor and practitioner of the ancient art form, is summoned to the bungalow of Yang Xing for an exclusive invitation into the enigmatic underbelly of the elusive Green Society. Four other initiates (from different backgrounds and various walks of life) have also been beckoned to the challenge of passing through the mystagogical 'Eight Chambers of Tai Chi Chuan;' an egalitarian class, cloaked from the scrutiny of mainstream derelicts. Charles questions the cost of the society's pricey enrollment and weighs in on whether or not he is being coaxed by vice-lord henchmen or righteous pundits. He gambles on the latter, and plays his hand undertaking a semi-warranted trip to Yang's palatial resort in Greensboro, N.C. Charles and four other contestants are prepped and ready, competing shoulder to shoulder for the grand boon of knowledge contained in the sagacious 'Green Manuals' of the Society's 'Inner Chambers.' The rules of engagement are clear cut, three strikes and you are out--no refunds and no excuses. Which of them will survive the enlightened phases of induction into Tai Chi's 'Sanctum Sanctorum,' revealing the golden compass of Yang style Tai Chi Chuan-- mapped out by the creating founders Yang Lu'chan, and Yang Cheng'fu? The gauntlet has been laid down for those who wish to trek the mazes of conscious expansion, and vacuum into the black holes of explosive Fa-Jing power!
