Review:
This book amounts to a detailed private lesson in Tai Chi (with a non-competitive partner) by one of the most well-known experts on Tai Chi, Herman Kauz, author of "Tai Chi Handbook." Practicing Tai Chi with a partner amounts to a physical manifestation of a cooperative approach to living, a tangible way of experiencing balance and cooperative interaction. Unlike some of the more competitive martial arts like karate and judo, which can be actually stressful to some, Tai Chi with a partner, "push hands," is almost meditative and requires careful attention to one's own and to a partner's strength, weakness, position, balance--and even to a certain extent, state of mind--to help rather than overcome or beat one another.
About the Author:
Herman Kauz has advanced certification in and has been a teacher of both external and internal martial arts systems since 1952. He is the author of well regarded books in the field, including The Martial Spirit, A Path to Liberation (Overlook), and the best-selling Tai Chi Handbook. After many years of teaching martial arts in New York he now lives and teaches in the San Diego area.
