The Complete Book of Tai Chi Chuan (太極拳全書)

The author, Dr. Tseng Ju-pai (1900–1995), was among the early wave of modern Chinese scholars to earn a Doctor of Laws from a German university. Trained in rigorous academic logic and deeply versed in both Western and Chinese scholarship, he possessed the unique perspective required to investigate Tai Chi Chuan from entirely fresh angles—such as his highly creative use of mechanical physics to explain the concept of "lightness and agility" (輕靈).

The Yang-style Tai Chi Chuan data presented in this book comes directly from the orthodox Yang lineage, ensuring its reliability and accuracy. As a closed-door disciple of Master Yang Chengfu and his sole successor in Southern China, Dr. Tseng delivers the absolute essence of Yang-style Tai Chi Chuan.

The content remains as timeless and relevant today as ever. For martial arts enthusiasts who are tired of superficial hype and exaggeration, and who simply wish to return to the fundamentals and rediscover the true essence of Tai Chi, this book comes with the highest recommendation.
