A compact guide to 24 simplified Tai Chi forms

The guide centers on Simplified Tai Chi, presenting a sequence of 24 movement forms in place of the longer sets associated with traditional Tai Chi. Step-by-step instructions and more than 160 illustrations support learning the movements and practicing them. The book also frames Tai Chi as a practice that brings together low-impact exercise, meditation, and spiritual and philosophical elements. It outlines potential benefits such as improved balance and flexibility and reduced stress, joint pain, and blood pressure; these are claims presented in the book, not individualized health guidance.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginners seeking an illustrated introduction to Tai Chi movements.
  • People interested in a concise practice guide that also discusses meditation and Tai Chi’s philosophical and spiritual dimensions.
  • Those exploring low-impact exercise and the book’s stated wellness benefits.

Book overview

Pocket Tai Chi for Beginners is the perfect introduction to this popular exercise discipline--now in a handy, inexpensive format!

This book presents the "Simplified Tai Chi" method created by China's Ministry of Physical Culture and Sports. Unlike traditional Tai Chi, which has over 80 complicated movement sequences or forms, Simplified Tai Chi has 24 short and easy-to-remember movement forms which provide all the health benefits but are far easier for ordinary people to learn and practice on a daily basis. This book provides everything you need--step-by-step instructions and over 160 clear and simple illustrations.

Tai Chi is the fastest-growing martial art in the world today--due to its physical, mental and spiritual benefits--combining low-impact exercise, self-healing, meditation and a philosophy of life all in one.

Benefits of Tai Chi include:
  • Reducing falls by improving flexibility and balance
  • Relieving joint pain
  • Reducing stress and anxiety
  • Lower blood pressure
  • Strengthened core, legs and upper body

Master Tri Thong Dang is one of America's most respected Tai Chi instructors who has trained many thousands of practitioners. His easy-to-follow method highlights the spiritual essence of Tai Chi and at the same time its graceful simplicity.
