Book Review
by Yang Yang, Ph.D.
Please note that our Saturday Taijiquan teacher, Matthew Komelski,
is a student of Master Yang Yang and will be assisting him in teaching
Evidence-Based Taiji & Qigong workshop at The Omega Institute in
October. Lifestream has several copies of this book for sale.
Skillfully blending Eastern and Western thought, Master Yang Yang
illuminates the traditional teachings as well as offers scientific explanation
and a contemporary understanding of Taiji practice.
In this book, Yang describes the core exercises that form the foundation of Taiji
practice and explains the purpose and necessary integration of these exercises to
achieve the full health and martial, physical and spiritual benefits of Taiji trainng.
As both a traditionally trained expert of Taijiquan and a scientist studying the
mechanisms and benefits of Taiji practice, Yang uniquely demystifies Taijiquan and
makes it more accessible to a Western audience. Carefully preserving and drawing
from classical Taiji writings and the oral traditions of the Chinese martial arts community,
Yang also suggests ground-breaking hypotheses to explain the mechanisms of
how and why Taiji practices are so widely beneficial.
