Title: Wonderful in its breadth, but misses the essence.
Review: Wong Kiew Kit filled a large void in the literature for Tai Chi Chuan with this book. Many authors mystify this art to the point of folly, but Mr. Wong presents Tai Chi as the straight forward, efficient martial art that it truly is. Though this book lacks, in my opinion, a proper discussion of the actual use of chi for combat, it presents solid, logical descriptions of the mechanics involved as well as their underlying philosophies. This book is good for someone who wants a thorough overview of the various (popular) styles of Tai Chi Chuan, and especially valuable for the experienced martial artist who is looking at learning some of the internal aspects of boxing. A must read!
