The Internal Structure of Cloud Hands: A Gateway to Advanced

The Internal Structure of Cloud Hands: A Gateway to Advanced T'ai Chi Practice
- Used Book in Good Condition
The Internal Structure of Cloud Hands offers readers an in-depth look into the art of T'ai Chi Ch'uan via the practice of Cloud Hands, a foundational exercise common to all schools of this popular martial art. Part theoretical treatise, part training manual, this book facilitates a deeper understanding of "internal" movement and training for students of T'ai Chi and other internal martial arts. Step-by-step exercises help to bring the theoretical into concrete practice and application.
Â
Author Robert E. Tangora, an accomplished practitioner and teacher of several different styles of T'ai Chi, places a heavy emphasis on the development of internal structure and building a solid foundation in the art's most basic movements. Intermediate and advanced practitioners will discover a deeply interconnected world of practice; beginning students will learn basic training methods that can help them bypass years of incomplete training and erase incorrect habits already formed.
Â
Tangora also stresses the importance of meditation and its crucial relationship to the art's health and martial aspects, as well as how to use the spine to integrate movementsâ€”especially important for practitioners with back problems who wish to learn how to move without inducing pain.
Â
Readers will learn to:
â€¢ Cultivate internal power
â€¢ Discover the inner workings of Tai Chi Ch'uan
â€¢ Understand the meaning of the T'ai Chi classics
â€¢ Move without injury
â€¢ Relieve back pain
