IF YOU WISH TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK AT A REDUCED RATE OF 20$ INCLUDING SHIPPING/POSTAGE, PLEASE VISIT OUR SHOP: https: //purplecloudinstitute.com/product/the-heart-treasure-of-taijiquan/ The art of taijiquan that Yang Luchan took to Beijing and Yang Chengfu later took to Shanghai represented a pinnacle of Chinese culture and martial arts. However, in terms of both form and application, what is now commonly called taijiquan seldom reflects the qualities that first made it a legendarily effective art for fighting, health, and inner transformation. The Heart Treasure of Taijiquan washes away the sands of time to restore public knowledge of taijiquan's brilliant core. Written for the modern reader, this book thoroughly illuminates the authentic inner teachings of Yang family taijiquan. From detailing contemporary misunderstandings of taijiquan and its place in Chinese culture, to explaining the correct meanings of fundamental concepts; and from elucidating classic writings, to recording an extensive Q&A with students, The Heart Treasure of Taijiquan enables the reader to understand the essence of this path. The principles presented in this volume can be freely integrated with training in any style of taijiquan, or used to deepen any internal or external martial arts practice. Master Ren Gang of Shanghai is a true inheritor of Yang style taijiquan. Deeply familiar with its philosophical marrow, he is recognized by his elders and peers as a master at the highest levels of practice, with formidable aptitude in its combat applications. His taijiquan is pure and free from elements borrowed from other traditions. Ren has gained the full benefits of the art physically, mentally, and spiritually. The translator, Mattias Daly, is a twenty-year student of Chinese martial arts, spiritual practices, and traditional healthcare. In order to ensure a highly faithful translation, he made numerous journeys to Shanghai to discuss the complexities of taijiquan philosophy with Master Ren and personally experience the training methods and martial applications he describes. The Heart Treasure of Taijiquan enables students to transform their own practices and retrace the footsteps of its foremost masters. A must-read for practitioners of Yang-style tai chi chuan and all thoseinterested in the philosophy of Chinese martial arts in general." - Kostas Dervenis, Headmaster of the Pammachon Cultural Foundation, author of The Martial Arts of Ancient Greece and The Magus of Java "Perhaps the best book translated into English on the real practice ofTaijiquan and what it takes to learn it. Within its pages is also the bestelucidation of the Taiji Classic, returning the words to their rightful placeas a practical guide to developing skill and not the esoteric text so manymake it out to be." - Andrew Nugent-Head, Founder of the Association for Traditional Studies, Chinese medicine physician and educator, practitioner of Yin style baguazhang

Skillfully blending Eastern and Western Thought, Mater Yang illuminates the traditional teachings as well as offers scientific explanations 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 training. 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 Wwestern audience. Carefully preserving and drawing from classical Taiji writings and the oral traditions of the Chinese martial arts community, Yang also suggests ground-breaking hypothesis to explain the mechanisms of how and why Taiji practices are so widely beneficial. This book is valuable to both beginning and advanced practitioners.

"Daoist taijiquan adheres to roundness, the circular symbolizing movement and exercise, and the key to opening the mysterious life gate, onto to a better path, each day fulfilled and joyous. Zhang Sanfeng Taijiquan amongst all forms is unique, practicing in only one singular direction, following the rotation of the earth, the direction of the winds, the turning of the stars, and the shapes of the planets. The universe is vast and unknown, but according to Yijing, the universe itself is round. By observing and practicing Daoist taijiquan, the roundness of the universe is then integrated, the self its reflection, becoming one"--
