From the author: Please don’t try to learn Tai Chi by rote memorization. That’s the usual way, and it’s a Confucian teaching device for a Confucian age. This book devotes nearly three hundred pages to fresh, original explanations of what Tai Chi is and how it works.
You want my advice? Learn Tai Chi. Just however you can. It’s that good. But do yourself a favor and read these pages first. You’ll feel very empowered when you line up for that first lesson, and you’ll stay loose and light all the way through the learning curve. That’s important because you never reach the end of it. Tai Chi is all learning curve.
