Sun Style Tai Chi Chuan: Volume Two: The Companion Guide (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798567529508)

This book is a companion volume to the Sun Style 97 Posture Guide and is designed to help both beginners and more experienced players "Nurture the Small", and gain benefit from this observably simple but internally deep reaching form. It describes exercises and practices that are used throughout the teaching of the Traditional Sun Style Tai Chi Chuan Form, which was developed by Sun Lu-Tang and his daughter Sun Jian-Yun. Sun Lu-Tang was a scholar in Daoist traditions and practices and his 97 Postures carried much influence from those studies. In teaching the 97 Posture Form, exercises to develop students abilities have also been found to be useful in practising Qi Gong, and these exercises may prove useful to those learning and teaching Qi Gong.The author includes narrative descriptions on exercises, thoughts and experiences supported by photographs based on studying the Sun Style 97 Posture Form exclusively over the last fifteen years. He has trained extensively with the late David Martin of Leicester, one of three Europeans taken into the Sun Family as Indoor Students, and also in Beijing as a student of Zhang Zhen-Hua, who was a senior student of Madam Sun Jian-Yun for approximately 45 years, and is the retired Vice President of the Sun Style Research Institute set up by Madam Sun to promote Sun Style practices.
