The Insider's Guide to Tai Chi

Frantzis spent years as a student of Liu Hung Chieh in Beijing, and this book is his attempt to write down what he was actually taught. Most of it is the 16-part neigong: the internal work that runs underneath the form. He is unusually blunt about how long it takes. Chapters on water method breathing, the 70% rule for effort, and what he calls dissolving, which is his term for letting tension go rather than stretching it out.

Worth reading if you already have a form and want to know what is supposed to be happening inside it. Not a beginner's book. The exercises assume you can already stand still for twenty minutes without fidgeting.
