Liang explore the basic principles and deeper meaning of this increasingly popular martial art. The remarkable photography both captures the full power, grace and subtlety of T'ai Chi while providing a detailed count by count presentation of each posture. T.T.

Liang in the book's photography. --- from book's back cover
