• Wonderful Intro to Useful Subject
  What can I say about Bruce Frantzis that he hasn't already said himself. He is a warrior, a healer and a teacher. He is very articulate. He has journeyed to another world and brought back riches which he shares with us. Marco Polo was no Bruce Frantzis. Bruce brought back the hidden secrets of the east.

• Great Resource
  Great book. Gives a good framework for understanding the complete art of Tai Chi. Definitely not a step by step "how to" book, but an excellent "why do" book.

• Gives Good Basic Overview
  The book provides a clear introduction to tai chi, its benefits, and different styles. Also, it gives some practical advice on finding a good teacher and maintaining realistic expectations.

Also, the benefits of studying tai chi could probably be summed up more succinctly. Overall, this book best serves the neophyte.

• Health For All
  A treasure chest of knowledge examining the various health aspects and history of tai-chi chaun. A valuable book for beginners outlining many of the basic principles which are often left out of modern day teaching. Therefore this will help prospective students identify a qualified instructor. Equally, advance students will benefit from this "encyclopedia" of Tai-Chi energys. Already a classic and should not be overlooked.
