Compact Tai Chi Description

Tai Chi is an effective and inexpensive wellness program for dealing with the stress of modern living. However, many don't have enough space to practice the traditional Tai Chi forms. Tsao coils the traditional linear form into acircular format, taking only onequarter the area required to practice conventional Tai Chi. Each posture is illustrated to demonstrate the movement in detail. Tsao presents four independent sequences to meet the needs of all skill levels.

'On the back' of Compact Tai Chi

"Tsao's fundamental Compact Tai Chi is much more than a form of exercise. It is a self-healing approach that enhances and maintains health, and prevents disease by balancing body, mind, and spirit." KERRY J. KLUNER, M.D., Medical Director of the Shi-ho Center for Creative & Healing Arts

Tai Chi is an effective and inexpensive wellness program for dealing with the stress of companies are even encouraging staff to practice Tai Chi on-site for stress management and sickness prevention. However, many offices, homes, and apartments don't have enough space (and many of us don't have the time) to practice the traditional Tai Chi forms. Jesse Tsao addresses these problems with his system of Compact Tai Chi, which folds and coils the traditional linear form into a circular format, taking only one-quarter to one-third the area required to practice conventional Tai Chi. It also takes much less time. If you have ten minutes, you have time to rejuvenate your body and mind using Compact Tai Chi!

Tsao combines five major styles in one compact and comprehensive form, exposing you to different Tai Chi approaches. Each posture is illustrated to demonstrate the movement in detail, and positioning is clearly indicated using clock-dial directions. Key points are added to help you better understand the instructions, and self-defense applications are included for those interested in the martial arts aspect of Tai Chi. Jesse Tsao presents four independent sequences to meet the needs of Tai Chi practitioners at all levels whether you've just started Tai Chi, or have been practicing for years.
