  ... and perhaps plant some crops at the new moon(?).
  I almost met Master Liang, but didn't. Now I feel as if I had. Mr. Olson has brought us a living portrait which one feels can't be flawed.
  This book is entertaining, inspiring and historically interesting -- for Taiji practitioners especially.
  Gee, Prof. Cheng Man-Ching doesn't come off too well ... so I've decided to use Master Liang's example and not judge and accept the greatness that he did or may have had.

• An inimitable personality and master
  First I wanted to make a brief comment on the one very negative review, which said Olson's book wasn't even well written. Come on, it's perfectly competent writing and well edited.

• This book is an incredible bargain!
  This is a fascinating book about the diverse life of T'ai Chi Chu'an Master T.T. Liang. Full of humor, a zest for life, and a deep devotion to this martial art, Master Liang epitomizes the term "Master." Very well written by Stuart Olson, who may well have been closer than anyone to his legendary teacher/father. Details of Master Liang's Tai Chi lineage are very interesting to students, as are his insights into the principles of Tai Chi.

• Insightful and hartwarming
  Mr. Olsons book was very informative. He gives us a glimps into the private life of one of the modern masters of Tai Chi T.T. Liang. Liang was the personal assistant to Cheng Man Ching the man who brought the pearl of Chinese Culture (Taijichuan) to America. The tremendous respect and admiration Olson had for his instructior truely shines through in the pages of this book.
