Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

With a picture of Mr. Robinson teaching his grandson, the back
page reads: "Mr. Robinson, a Master of Yang Tai Chi, had undertaken
two projects. The first is to hand down to his grandson, 46 years
of knowledge and experience in the Martial Arts.
The second is to hand down this knowledge and experience to you
through the pages of this book. Much effort has been taken to give
the reader a complete guide to Tai Chi in a language that is
uncomplicated and yet very detailed. This book is like none of the
other books about Tai Chi you have ever seen.
This book, written through the eyes of a Master raised in the
South, not only tells you of the history and origin of Tai Chi, but
explains how Tai Chi can be such a positive influence in your life.
The breathing, the relaxation, the harmony, the exercise, the
philosophy, the self-defense, the health and healing created in
ancient China allcome together in this book as a means to benefit
you today.
This is a must read for everyone, from the complete novice to
the experienced in Tai Chi."
