Now a recreational activity practiced by millions of people worldwide, T'ai Chi, with its physical, psychological, and spiritual benefits widely recognized and praised, is one of the fastest-growing Chinese martial arts in the world today.

Master Tri's concise by lucid descriptions highlight the spiritual essence of the form and at the same time display its graceful simplicity.
