Summary: Very poor book
Comment: Even though this book looks like an advanced Tai Chi book in reality it tells you about nothing. Nothing about the back spine management on how to generate energy while you are pushing (or whatever you are doing in tai chi work). There is something on accumulating energy in the position that's absolutely not useful. Even the younger beginner understands the back leg needs to work like a spring without buying this "advanced" book. But the question is not on how the back leg should work, what it is exspected from a book like this is to get tips and training methods on the "back spine and waist /hips work" that's the real point on generating martial power in Tai Chi and Internal Martial Art. The level of this book is so lower that is absolutely not comparable with other Dr Yang's books I've read and reviewed.

Rating: 5
Summary: Dr. Yang takes you beyond the basics
Comment: Dr. Yang has again written a book in keeping with his usual high standards. For students wishing to go beyond the basic Taijiquan form, and learn more advanced levels and techniques of qi flow, the different types of jin, and how to generate them, this book is indispensable. One caveat : as its title suggests, this book is for more advanced students, and assumes that the reader has a foundation in Taijiquan, at least the basics of the form and some basic qigong.

Rating: 4
Summary: Definitely a good buy
Comment: To me, YMAA is one fo the best martial arts publishers around...but don't lure yourself, youwi ll never attain a deep level in internal arts with only a book, even if it is the best one. However this book is definitely a good buy, clear, full of insights, with as usual for YMAA a load of theory (and that's a good point). The pictures are numerous, good, but still you'll need to get involved to catch all he subtleties of the demonstrated points. Dr Yang is definitely a genuine master (I personally experienced what he is worth) and even though he tries to pass down all his knowledge, there are lots of areas you will need to endeavour and discover yourself. To finish, I would like to say that doubting Dr Yang's knowledge about Tai Chi is like disputing with Stephen Hawkings on his last book about quantum physics. This book will definitely be helpful to you and whatever your level is, you'll be able to grab and grow one of the many seeds in this solid work.
