Taijiquan: Chen Taiji 38 Form and Applications (Tuttle Martial Arts)

The Chen style of taijiquan (an alternate spelling of tai chi chuan) is the parent art of all tai chi systems (yang, wu, chen, sun, etc.). This book covers the history of Chen-style taiji, provides a fully illustrated instruction in the 38 sections that make up the form; and then offers the most comprehensive introduction to the self-defence applications of the form available in the English language.
