Tai chi was developed as a martial art yet it is rarely taught as one anymore and isn't taken seriously by other martial artists.
This book looks at why that is so and what tai chi people can do to bring the combative element back into their art. It takes a look at the many benefits of tai chi including those that you can only get through learning the martial side of it. The book examines the way forms are taught and what is needed to happen to replace their martial content. It looks at the principles of tai chi that make it so effective for combat and also at the martial training that is missing from most tai chi schools.
If you want to learn tai chi as a martial art - and there are many reasons why you should - then you need to train it as a martial art. This book helps point the way to giving your tai chi training a new edge.
