Originally published in 1979, The Essence of T’ai Chi Ch’uan presented the first authoritative English translation of the important body of work known as the T’ai Chi Classics, a collection of writings spanning nearly 1,000 years. This long-awaited new edition again provides the literary essence of an ancient art form. New material includes references to the commentary of the late Professor Cheng Man-ch’ing and an index of the Chinese technical terms. Benjamin Pang Jeng Lo has created additional calligraphy of key phrases from the T’ai Chi Classics especially for this edition.

The Essence of T’ai Chi Ch’uan set and continues to hold the standard for English language rendition of the literary traditions of T’ai Chi, providing an invaluable source of wisdom for all students and teachers of this fascinating art.
