Summary: 3 Stars
Sunrise Tai Chi (Book)
By Ramel Rones
Skill level: Beginner
Available from: YMAA Publication Center, ymaa.com
Sunrise Tai Chi is a great book for people interested in investigating Tai Chi as it applies to health. The text is simple and easy to understand and the use of pictures and text and combined very well together. The one thing I would like to see in the pictures are arrows showing the directions of motion in the photographs. This technique was used in another YMAA book and it clarified a lot about how to move. The form, stretches, and Chi Kung are all very complete and understandable.
The book is well organized beginning with a very brief introduction and history. The book then moves through Chi exercises, in-motion skill building, and a basic understanding of the techniques in the form. The book ends with the chapter on learning the Sunrise Tai Chi Short Form based on the first Yang Style Tai Chi form. Again a great way to investigate Tai Chi for the first time. The only real issues I had with this book are, first, there are no martial applications. This isn't needed if you are just looking into Tai Chi from a health perspective but Tai Chi is a martial style so my preference is to have some applications. The only other issue I have is that the material is far to simple to be useful to anyone other than a beginner. If you have any Martial experience, especially with Tai Chi, this is not the book for you.
All-in-all it is a great book for people just getting started on Tai Chi for health. It does focus a great deal on Chi development which is not normally something I spend a lot of time on in my training but is still written in a clear concise manner.
The book retail price is listed as $16.95 and is worth a look if you want more information on Tai Chi for health.
