This volume in the Chen Kung Series is a landmark translation
and explanation of Taijiquan's most profound text-the Yang family's
secret training journal on Intrinsic Energies (Jin). The commentary
brilliantly explicates a work that will be an essential reference
for any Taijiquan practitioner. Intrinsic Energies are the profound
and marvelous skills of an accomplished Taijiquan master. They are
the very foundation of self-defense skills in Taijiquan and are
what sets Taijiquan apart and beyond all other styles of martial
art. Anyone interested in developing their Taijiquan skills to the
highest levels needs to read and study this work.
"I predict that this will be one of the most important works on
T'ai Chi yet to be published in English. While the text itself is
enlightening, the real pearls of knowledge contained in this book
are to be found in Olson's commentary. Concepts and ideas typically
mystified by practitioners are masterfully presented in a clear,
direct manner."-Dan Miller, editor "Pa Kua Chang Journal"
The information in Stuart Alve Olson's six-volume Chen Kung
Series, available to the Chinese reader since 1936, covers the
entire Yang family system of Taijiquan practice and philosophy.
Chen Kung's original Chinese book is a distinct and invaluable
resource that is now accessible to English readers through the
brilliant translation work and insightful commentary of Stuart Alve
Olson.
No matter what style of Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) you practice
or what level of skill you have achieved, the Chen Kung Series will
greatly broaden your knowledge and skills, as it is truly a
"Master's Program" on the art of Taijiquan.
