Tai Chi Concepts and Experiments: Hidden Strength, Natural Movement, and Timing by Robert Chuckrow

Tai Chi Concepts and Experiments: Hidden Strength, Natural Movement, and Timing examines how tai chi principles can be investigated through movement. Robert Chuckrow combines discussions of classical sayings with perspectives from physics, anatomy, psychology and spirituality.

The book distinguishes contractive and expansive strength, explores rooting and redirecting, and offers experiments for studying balance and timing. These are the author’s analyses of martial practice, not guarantees of medical rehabilitation. Readers with injuries or physical limitations should seek suitable professional advice before attempting unfamiliar exercises.
