10 Good Tai Chi Books worth buying

Just do a search on Amazon for Tai Chi under the Books category – over 8000 results !

My God, where do I start ? You can try to narrow your search by typing in the Tai Chi style – such as Yang, Chen, Sun, Wu and Cheng Man Ching. Try refining your search to “beginners” or “advanced” this could produce as few as four results but the search may still filter out books that would be of more value to yourself.

You can also narrow your search and type in the name of a particular master or author such as Cheng Man Ching. “Tai Chi Cheng Man Ching” produces 26 results. Click the below link for this example

I have researched what is considered to be some of the best Tai Chi books available from reviews and research. A variety of styles and authors and not in any particular order. They range in price from about £8 to £100. Some are very collectable and not always available. Some are reasonably priced and worth adding to your collection whether you are a beginner or an advanced instructor.
