This
comprehensive volume translates the Taiji Classics passed down
through the Chen, Yang and Wu Families. The authors spend 15 years
compiling, and editing this work down to a single volume of nearly
800 pages! For non-Mandarin speakers, this book is the first complete
compilation of the Classics in English, including clear and precise
explanations of the essential concepts of Taijiquan. The Classics
provide deep insight into Chinese culture generally, with
descriptions of the teachings of Daoism that have guided a people
over millennia. If you agree that reading the classics is an
important part of your Tai Chi Training, this is book should be part
of your
library.

In
September 2004, the Tai Chi Study Group was formed by students of

After warm-ups, we often break up into smaller groups to work with
students at different levels. With several instructors, teaching is
flexible. New students are welcome to start at their convenience.
We
practice tai chi as transmitted to us by our teacher Frances Lea
Gander, who learned from the revered, late Grandmaster Yin Chian Ho
of Milwaukee, WI. Yin was from Shandong Province and Taiwan. Classes
consist of warm ups, the Eight Pieces of Brocade (Qi Gong), Master
Yin's Continuous Ba Duan Jin Form, and Northern Yang/Wu (Old Style)
Tai Chi C'huan.
Where: Cedarhurst Unitarian Universalist, Club
House Rd., Finksburg, MD
When: Monday evenings
from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm (or a little later sometimes)
How
much: $5 per class on a drop-in basis ($4 tax-deductible contribution
to CUU; $1 for our class fund used to defray cost of occasional
special classes with guest teachers, such as Frances Gander).
