Principles of tai chi
2026-04-11
On Monday 13th April, 2026, I'm going to my first tai chi class (blog post in the works about it!). In preperation, I read Paul Precher's Principles of Tai Chi.
It was a relatively short read and, speaking as someone who hasn't actually attended the class yet, an efficient introduction to the practice and applications of tai chi.
Some claims were presented as authoratitive with no scientific existence to back them (such as the existence of "qi"), which I wasn't the biggest fan of, but it was a nice glimpse into the fundamental aspects and terminology of tai chi.
