“A Different
Kind of Taiji Book”
Drawing Silk has a complete translation of the major
Taijiquan Classics, which many teachers regard as the foundation of the art,
as well as famous training principles from Yang style masters. There are
numerous practical training tips from other Old Masters which are given in a graduated
sequence that can be built upon one step at a time. For those who are interested
in the more "mystical" dimensions of the art, three original Taoist tales,
populated by such latter-day "Immortals" as Purple Gold and Hollow Valley
portray Taijiquan as an art of cosmic awareness.
