About the Book<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nIn this ground-breaking book,<\/strong> author Nigel Sutton presents the wisdom, skill and experience of contemporary Taiji masters of Cheng Man Ching\u2019s Taijiquan\u00a0as practiced in Malaysia and Singapore. Included are full discussions on training, teaching, Taiji principles, weapons, push hands, sparring, challenge matches, mind-body-spirit development, and stories of the late Master Cheng. Two generations of revered masters discuss Cheng\u2019s art in detail, including: <\/span><\/p>\nSifu Lau Kim Hong Sifu Lee Bei Lei Sifu Zhou Mu Tu Sifu Ho Ah San Sifu Tan Ching Ning Sifu Dr. Fong Fung Tong Sifu Wu Chiang Hsing Sifu Koh Ah Tee<\/span><\/p>\nThese eight teachers describe their experience which made this art, in 30\u00a0short years, the premier fighting style of Taijiquan\u00a0in Southeast Asia. The masters discuss their experience with Taiji fighting, challenges and applications. <\/span><\/p>\nThis is balanced with discussions of Nei Gong or internal strength training, which is seemingly \u201clost\u201d among Cheng\u2019s students in the West. Well known in the West for its role in the New Age movement, this is the first book to openly expose the reality of Cheng style\u00a0Taijiquan\u00a0as a fighting art in the words of leading masters from the lineage.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta title=”Only $21.95″ button_url=”https:\/\/tambulimedia.samcart.com\/products\/wisdom-of-taiji-masters” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Buy Now – Limited Stock” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ background_color=”#1e73be” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” hover_enabled=”0″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” button_letter_spacing_hover=”0″ button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”on” button_letter_spacing__hover=”0″ button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” link_option_url=”https:\/\/tambulimedia.samcart.com\/products\/wisdom-of-taiji-masters”][\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.4.4″ hover_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.4.4″ custom_padding=”0px|||||” custom_margin=”|109px||auto||”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.4.4″ type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Reviews” _builder_version=”4.4.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” module_alignment=”left” hover_enabled=”0″ custom_padding=”|||181px||”]<\/p>\n
