Tai Chi Bang: Eight-Immortal Flute - 2021 Updated 增订版 Now with Seated (Wheelchair) Therapy and Self-massage

A wonderful update to the previous 2012 edition. This great resource includes a very useful and interesting introduction to the Tai Chi Bang, which gives the reader an insight into the deep cultural, historical and philosophical references used within the form, a very welcome addition to any practical Tai Chi book which many lack.The form description and photos are so easy to follow, and really guide the reader. The instructions are clear and concise but afford the necessary detail to engage properly with the form... leaving no head scratching moments you find yourself having with other instructional texts. The seated form and the massage are excellent additions to the previous edition.Highly recommended for those interested in or currently practicing Tai Chi Bang.

It's not easy to find tuition in the 'bang' and I find that holding a bang really helps focus my tai chi practice, so this book is a great resource. Lots of pictures with key points for the movements. Useful also for seated practice. I like that he's used the traditional names for moves 'repulse monkey' etc as this makes it easier to cross reference with the tai chi forms I already know.

Está nueva edición contiene, la forma de Tai Chi Bang, diseñada por el Maestro Jesse Tsao, pero también una secuencia en postura sentada, muy útil para personas discapacitadas o de la tercera edad, o simplemente para quienes desean ejercitarse mientras ven televisión o en una pausa en el trabajo.También trae una secuencia de masaje de los 12 meridianos según la medicina tradicional china, por lo que, más que una nueva edición, es casi un libro completamente nuevo.El libro presenta instrucciones claras para aprender y ejecutar las distintas formas, y también es un excelente complemento para la serie de videos instruccionales de dichas formas, pues trae información adicional, historia, y fotografías claras de cada postura. Muy recomendable para principiantes y practicantes experimentados por igual.

The newly updated book by Master Jesse Tsao, Tai Chi Bang: Eight-Immortal Flute is a valuable resource that explains clearly the benefits of Bang (wand). With clear pictures and instructions that are easy to follow, it is an excellent stand-alone resource, or as extra reading to support the DVD. The new exercises for Seated Bang and Self Massage can be used for all levels of experience and ability.

I liked the illustrations and the pace,\.
