This book is the best intorduction to Tai Chi and Qigong that a beginner could ask for. It's straightforward and leaves plenty of room for the student to find a teacher and a style that he or she likes. Mr. Douglas presents his Guang Ping form not as a slight to other styles but in order to share with the reader his experience of Tai Chi because that is the form he knows best. Once again the perfect introduction to the marvelous benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong.
