A comprehensive training manual with breathing techniques, warm-up exercises and essential moves for both disciplines demonstrated clearly by highly qualified experts

 

In this expertly written book, two ancient martial arts disciplines are brought together, giving readers the opportunity to compare them and decide on the benefits that they can gain from each.
The fascinating history and theories behind each discipline are examined, encouraging a deep understanding of the importance of a spiritual approach as well as a physical commitment. The book is clearly divided into separate sections for t'ai chi and aikido, and both include essential information on preparation, warm up, when and how to practise, using meditation and creative visualization, and how to integrate either or both arts into your lifestyle.
T'ai chi is a simple and accessible aid to coping with the pressures of modern living while gaining a strong and supple physique. This practical guide gives the entire short form of the Wu style and demonstrates t'ai chi clearly, providing a sound basis for a life-long enjoyment of the art.
Aikido is based on natural movements and the harmony of mind and body, which combine to anticipate the actions of an opponent and restrain him with the power of their own energy. It is known to promote a positive attitude to life in general. This book encourages the social practise of aikido and places an emphasis on developing skills with others.
Clearly illustrated with more than 900 photographs, the step-by-step guides to the basic postures, movements, techniques and applications of t'ai chi and aikido are demonstrated by expert practitioners.
Readers will refer back to this book time and time again, as the key to progression is in the practising of the basic skills described in these pages. With advice on choosing schools and useful contacts, the reader can fully discover both disciplines and choose the methods that are right for their personal lifestyle.
