Volume 6: Combining Four Pillars of Tai Chi

Featuring Mark Cheng

In this last volume of his series on Combat Tai Chi, Mark brings it all together by combining the 4 Pillars of Tai Chi. 1999. 

Tai Chi is perhaps the world's most widely practiced, yet most misunderstood, martial art. Like the other styles of Chinese martial art, Tai Chi was born of combat, but its "soft" and "fluid" motions set it apart from the other styles of external boxing. A complete fighting system, Tai Chi includes deceptive kicks, relaxed punches, powerful throws, and painful locks. Mark Cheng, one of Tai Chi's exciting instructors and scholars, has researched the applications of the Yang style long form since his childhood. He illuminates many of the secrets of full-body fighting in combat Tai Chi.
