Editorial Review:
Each day, millions of people worldwide practice Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan), which has been known for centuries to promote deep relaxation and excellent health, to prevent injuries and illnesses, and to improve martial skills. Tai Chi has steadily become a popular form of mind/body exercise as more and more people in the west discover the rich rewards of living in a holistic way. Tai Chi is a journey through the mind, the body, and the spirit, that can be practiced by everyone. Increasingly, you can see people practicing in the park - moving slowly in a meditative state, or even perfecting their martial arts skills. But what is Tai Chi really? This book clearly introduces the history and underlying principles of Tai Chi Chuan from a modern and unique perspective. For the beginner, this program is a comprehensive introduction to authentic Tai Chi, allowing you to fine-tune your mind/body skills and create balance among them. For the intermediate and advanced, it includes important instructions and refinements, helping you expand your knowledge of the internal arts. In the end, you will understand and experience the ultimate goal of Tai Chi: the harmonizing of the three forces - human, earth, and heaven. * Develop symmetry and balance between strength and flexibility * Loosen and strengthen muscles, tendons, and ligaments * Improve circulation of blood and Qi energy * Learn how to increase bone density * Massage internal organs with gentle movement * Boost your immune system to help heal chronic conditions, including arthritis, osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and cancer * Improve your quality of life and daily physical performance * Tap into the abundant energy of the universe * Learn and improve your martial arts skills

The book arrived in a timely manner and was in pristeen condition. It is also a good read.
Rating: - More than a good place to start
A few cavets first. YMAA Publications has asked me to review this book and so I did receive a copy of the book and DVD's at no cost to myself; that's the sole extent of my "compensation" but I like to be honest. I've studied aikido, juijitsu for over 25 years (a friend corrected a previous review) and chi gung for about half that time. Mind/body practice is at the heart of my business and day to day practice. If you look at my other reviews you'll find that if you have a lame product the worst thing ... Read More
Rating: - Absolutely amazing Tai Chi book!!!
I have perused over a dozen "Tai Chi" books and found them all to be mostly useless. The average Tai Chi book either presents page after page of postures and katas without any meaningful explanation, or provides some quasi-mystical New-Agey commentary that makes little sense -- and then there are Erle's bizarre "combat tajiquan" books. It had gotten to the point that I had given up on ever finding a book that could help me to understand the basic principals of Tai Chi . . . and then a friend gave me ... Read More
Rating:  - Review of Sunrise Tai Chi-Book and DVD
The author, who is obviously very skilled in martial arts, has written a supportive text that is supplemented with an excellent DVD that gives the "hands-on" approach today's visually oriented audience prefers. In his book, the author emphasizes having patience with one's efforts but makes it clear that no techniques can be accomplished without "practice, practice, practice!" The diagrams and photos in the book are extremely helpful, especially for the beginner who is trying to learn the theory and basics ... Read More
Rating: - An Excellent Introduction
Sunrise Tai Chi is an excellent introduction to the topic, and a useful companion to the DVD of the same name. Like the DVD, the book shows Rones' down to earth yet respectful view of Tai Chi and related disciplines. The illustrations are clear and the discussions concise and useful. As both a cancer patient and academic neurologist, I have benefited greatly from the material that is so expertly taught in this volume.
