The Taijiquan Classics: A Martial Artist’s Translation (English Edition)

Author Scott M. Rodell brings over 40 years of training in the martial arts to this refreshed translation of the Classics. He presents these Treatises as they were originally intended, as instruction for those on martial path. His commentary on each Classic includes not only insights into the original Chinese, but relates his own rich training experience with his teachers, all of whom are well known and respected masters of the art. The text includes the original Chinese text, the pinyin romanization for the text, the authors translation and his commentary. Noted teacher and author Paul Gallagher wrote of this work, "the overall concept of the book is excellent—a translation of TCC Classics with commentary focused on practical application. Also, presenting the original text, English transliteration, translation and commentary is a most useful format for any reader who desires to delve a bit deeper into the original text. I really like this book."
