T'ai Chi Ch'uan is an ancient Chinese art of self-defense. In the old days only noblemen could learn the art; it has been practiced in China for one thousand years.

The important principle f the art is relaxation, which encourages meditation. T'ai Chi Ch'uan encourages meditation in motion while it circulates the life fluid through the body. It is conducive to longevity. There are documentary evidences that some practitioners of this art have lived to a very old age.

The author of this book is a teacher of great experience, and an unassuming gentleman. Sickly as a young man, he took up T'ai Chi Ch'uan thirty-three years ago, first under Master Liu and then, in 1937, under Master Wu in Hong Kong. This great art has not only restored him to excellent health and youthful vigor, but has also given him a tranquility of mind and spirit in a world where men constantly live under tremendous stresses of life.
