A longtime student of the taiji grand master Yang Cheng-Fu, Chen Wei-Ming became famous himself as a scholar, martial artist, and proponent of the Yang style of t'ai chi. In the 1920s, he wrote a number of influential books on taiji, among them Taiji Sword (1927), which detailed a rare method of fencing. Translated here for the first time, this book serves as both a historical document and a training manual for an increasingly popular sport.

Being the first batch student of The Eminent Yang Chengfu, Chen Weiming had his master's skill in sword clearly defined. This book also shows a good work of the translator, Barbara Davis, although not as clear as the original text. And this book contains a description of the 'rarely seen' Yang style Taiji Long Fist (Taiji Changquan), an advanced set of Yang Chengfu Taijiquan. This book is the best of its kind, and a must for serious practitioners.

Great historical writing on the tai chi sword form
15. August 2001
Von John Ball
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
This book is a very interesting account of the Yang Style Tai Chi sword form. It is a translation of a classical account from the 1920's, and includes pictures of each of the postures of the form. The text is clear, and an interesting account of the form by an old master. As with most classical Tai Chi writings, it is more useful as a source of ideas for someone who already practices the form than as a beginner's teaching text. The translation is scholarly, and Ms. Davis has added a lot to this book with her footnotes and commentary. A very enjoyable read.

Worthwhile to have
16. Oktober 2007
Von Stephen Greenberg
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is a very interesting book and very worthwhile to have if you are interested in Tai Chi Sword. Other reviewers have pointed out the limitation of detail in movement descriptions and grainy pictures. However, much more important is that it is a glimpse into the deeper moral and spiritual value that these great practioners held for the sword and how closely they were connected to the inner meanings of Taoist philosophy. It won't be a great resource for learning the form, but reading the words of these dedicated practioners from the past has a great and lasting value for anyone trying to gleen the meaning and value of Tai Chi Sword.
