"In this erudite yet practical book Professor Cheng shares the secrets of his lineage and takes us to the heart of T'ai Chi Ch'uan, presenting it as a martial art, a medicine, and a mean of exercise and self-development. With examples from anatomy and physics, he demonstrates precisely how the postures and moves work, internally as energetic principles, and externally on opponents. He makes plain the spheres, triangles, and centripetal and centrifugal forces within physical exchanges such as push-hands. Contrasting Western and Chinese techniques of healing, he also explores the relationships of organs to one another in pathology and the necessary dynamics of treatment. Professor Cheng always emphasizes that disease (like an attack from an opponent) is an opportunity for training. The practioner of T'ai Chi Ch'uan may serve as his (or her) own doctor and, likewise, as the physician (or trainer) of an attacker. The martial arts are not a special case of unusual power; they are simply an aspect of adapting natural and cosmic law to circumstance. At this point philosophy itself merges with matter, physics becomes meditation, and the gravitational forces of the universe are our ally. This special text includes: * Thirteen essays on his insights into t'ai chi ch'uan. * Oral secrets from his teacher, Yang Cheng,fu. * Questions and answers giving his commentary on the classics. * Professor Cheng's application and functions of each of the thirty-seven postures of the short form with the original set of illustrative photographs of him as a young man. * Description and mechanics of push-hands, San Shou, and Ta Lu. * Prefaces by both Madame Cheng and Benjamin Pang-Jeng Lo.".
